UPS: December 18 will be busiest day

Atlanta-based shipping giant UPS predicts December 18th will be its busiest shipping day of the year.

The holiday season is a boost for the company and for people looking for seasonal work to help with holiday shipping.

Last year, UPS, the world's largest shipping carrier, delivered more than 22 million packages on its peak shipping day, which was Dec. 19, and it hired about 60,000 seasonal employees.
