Hey, somebody called Bill Burr and Mark Wahlberg.

We've got a bull versus bear debate over Boston beer.

This morning, Amazon announced it is hiring 150,000 seasonal employees to help with the holiday

And this makes me feel better for a couple of reasons.

The main one being that this is kind of in line with what we've heard out of UPS and

Target in terms of the seasonal workers that they're going to be hiring.

As earlier this fall, we had Wahlberg coming out and saying, hey, we're going to hire

40,000, which is far fewer than they did last year.

When you saw this news, your reaction was what?

I think it's pretty fascinating.

So the retail industry alone hires around 500,000 temporary workers for the holiday season.

Amazon you're seeing bumped its pay from $19 an hour from $18 an hour.

They have sign-on bonuses ranging from $1,000 to $3,000.

UPS is hiring 100,000 seasonal workers with wages from $16 to $30 an hour.
