COLUMBIA, S.C. (CNN) - The holiday season is just around the corner, and for some, that means shopping fever at stores across the US.

Kohl's Department Stores is getting ahead of the curve, opening up spots for more than 52,000 seasonal staff. That's 10% more seasonal workers than it hired last year.

The retail chain unveiled the hiring drive as unemployment continues to plague the U-S economy.

Other retail giants like Toys-R-Us, Walmart and Target, are also set to announce their hiring plans soon.
