The jobs include package handlers, drivers and other support positions. More than a third of the package handlers hired at FedEx ground facilities stayed on with the company for work after the holidays, according to FedEx.

Sandy Springs-based UPS has also begun hiring 95,000 seasonal workers for the holidays.
