Kohl's is filling jobs at 300 of its 1,100 US stores for the back-to-school and holiday seasons. Additional jobs at stores and fulfillment centers will come open later in the year.

It's the earliest Kohl's has ever started hiring seasonal workers, said Ryan Festerling, the store's executive vice president of human resources.

Unemployment is 3.8%, the lowest since 2000.

Sucharita Kodali, a retail analyst at Forrester, told CNNMoney that Kohl's is smart to start looking so early.

True, that’s why I moved to the Sacramento area 15 years ago. Housing is a third of the Bay Area and Tahoe is an hour and a half away. Then there’s the traffic. I wouldn’t move back even if the money wasn’t an issue.
