(Atlanta, GA, Wednesday, November 20, 2019) – UPS is hiring 100,000 seasonal employees to support its annual holiday shopping rush.

The full- and part-time seasonal positions – primarily package handlers, drivers and driver-helpers – have long been an entry point for permanent employment at UPS. Many senior UPS executives started their UPS careers as part-time employees.

Over the last three years, 35 percent of the UPS seasonal package handler employees were later hired in a permanent position when the holidays were over. In fact, 123,000 UPS employees established their careers at the company after starting as seasonal employees. That is roughly one-third of the company’s U.S. workforce.
