UPS plans to hire more than 100,000 workers _ at higher pay than a year ago _ to help handle the holiday rush this season, in line with hiring the previous three years

FILE - A UPS driver prepares to deliver packages in Baltimore, Md., Dec. 19, 2018. . UPS plans to hire more than 100,000 workers — at higher pay than a year ago — to help with the holiday rush this season, in line with hiring the previous three years.

That compares with last year's $21 per hour for drivers and $15.50 for package handlers, according to Matt Lavery, UPS's director of global sourcing, recruiting and onboarding. “We do have a good package to offer everybody with an industry-leading pay, but we still haven’t seen those numbers change,” he said. "So we’re hoping and we believe that we are going to get the number of employees. It’s a little uncertain whether it’s going to be easier or not for us at this point."
