UPS says it will hire 100,000 seasonal workers for the holiday rush — but don't expect that $170,000 pay package

• UPS plans on hiring 100,000 seasonal workers to beef up its workforce for the holiday season.
• Pay rates for these roles will be higher than last year thanks to a new labor contract. 
• Working as a seasonal employee can be the first step toward a $170,000-per-year pay package.

Summer may have just ended, but it's almost the most wonderful time of the year, and to plan for the rapidly approaching holiday season, UPS, one of the hottest companies to work for, is beefing up its workforce.
