Questions about Target's Seasonal Job Salary?

Hey everyone! I'm considering applying for a seasonal job at Target and was curious about the salary. Does anyone know how much they typically pay for these positions? I'm trying to weigh my options for winter break.

Hello! Seasonal positions at Target can vary depending upon the state and city you live in due to different minimum wage requirements. Target has made an effort to increase its starting wage several times over the past few years, with a commitment to increasing starting hourly wages for all team members. As of 2024, the company raised its starting wage to $15 per hour nationwide.

This means that you'll be earning at least $15 per hour, certain cities and states might offer slightly more depending on local minimum wage laws. It's important to note that this wage can further vary based on the specific position you are hired for. For example, a seasonal team lead position might pay more than a seasonal sales associate role.

Additionally, keep in mind that seasonal employees typically do not receive benefits or have guaranteed hours. The number of hours you work each week can fluctuate based on the store's needs during the holiday season. You may have an opportunity to join Target as a permanent team member once the seasonal period ends, but this will depend on business needs and your performance during the seasonal period.

I'd suggest checking on Target's careers page or reaching out to a local store's HR department to get more specific information for your location and the job you're interested in. Good luck with your job search!
