Less than six months to Christmas and stores are already gearing up. In an attempt to make a bold effort to grab people for a shrinking workforce, Kohl's announced on Wednesday it would be looking to fill 300 positions for the holiday season. Of their 1,100 stores, the positions are open all over the country and there will be more to come as the season gets closer.

Ryan Festerling, the store's executive vice president of human resources, said this is the earliest company has ever hired, but unemployment is 3.8%, the lowest since 2000. Many are saying this move by Kohl's is impressive as they hope to snag the best workers as early as possible. CNBC reported that the company has said it will offer “competitive wages” to seasonal workers, many opportunities for savings and 15% discounts on purchases.

Kohl's also is continuing to hire Back-To-School employees for the early fall. This push comes before any other major holiday retailer like Walmart or Target.
