? Hot employer: UPS

[phkrause]

UPS has become a coveted employer after its union scored big raises for drivers in their new contract.

• Full-time drivers will earn close to $170,000 in annual pay and benefits by the end of the five-year agreement, Bloomberg reports. That's far above the industry standard.
• Part-time union workers will start at $21 per hour and get full health care and pension benefits.

? The intrigue: Searches on Indeed for jobs with "UPS" or "United Parcel Service" in the title jumped more than 50% in the week after the UPS deal was announced, Bloomberg notes.

Reality check: Workers start as package loaders, and it can take several years to get a driving job.

• Starting drivers have the toughest routes, with late nights, heavier packages and many stops.
