This viewpoint seems very domain/market dependent. Retail usually explodes during winter months, for example.

Walmart has 943 software engineering positions open right now.

They're making more than $15/hr: https://www.levels.fyi/companies/walmart-global-tech/salarie...

While true the parent comment was talking about Seasonal jobs that retail adds at the end of the year, these are not programming jobs that are added but cashiers, stockers, etc.
