To meet the demand that is accelerating ahead of the holiday season, the company has hired a significant number of seasonal workers.
Emerging from the pandemic
The drop in seasonal employees between 2019 and 2020 is a potential reflection of the pandemic’s impact on the labor market. Despite increased demand, the company approached the hiring with caution to enhance the safety of both employees and customers. Notably, the pandemic reshaped the holiday shopping season, especially with cases rising and more people being compelled to place orders online. The projected growth in this year’s hiring reflects the economy’s reopening amid the vaccine rollout. [coinbase]
