Season's Greetings: Amazon to Hire 50,000 Workers

Amazon.com says it is hiring 50,000 temporary workers at order-fulfillment centers across the U.S. for Christmas. This is what real part-time workers look like, not the bogus part-timers in the BLS data.

Amazon says it expects "thousands" of those it hires to stay on full time., after the holiday season.

Macy's has announced it plans to hire 80,000 seasonal workers, Wal-Mart  50,000, and Toys R Us 45,000, this year.
