UPS Hiring

Reuters reported in 2004 that the United Parcel Service Inc. hired almost 70,000 temporary workers to help handle an estimated 340 million packages from Thanksgiving to Christmas, exceeding year-ago forecasts.

A UPS spokeswoman declined to say how many packages were delivered in the 2003 holiday season. However, the company had said last year it planned to hire 50,000 seasonal workers for an estimated 300 million packages during the period, which had two less delivery days than this year's season.
