It’s not just in your head. Halloween is starting earlier than ever this year. 

Last Thursday, Starbucks debuted its Pumpkin Spice Latte for the fall season, and Home Depot, Lowe’s and Party City have been featuring Halloween decor online and in stores for months already.

According to retail experts, this is Summerween. With adult audiences more engaged in Halloween, retailers have appropriately adjusted to accommodate buyer interest. That means more pumpkins more often. 

Does it feel too early for Halloween? We’ve scared up a new batch of job listings for you below.
