Lowe's Announces a Spring Hiring Binge
With a home improvement boom triggered by government COVID-19 lockdown orders under way since 2020, Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) is planning a spring hiring fair next week at which it expects to add 50,000 employees to its payroll. Though many will be temporary, seasonal workers, the new hires are still potentially a barometer of Lowe's ongoing growth, considering they come on top of 90,000 more new employees added over the course of the past 12 months, according to today's press release.
Scheduled for May 4, the National Hiring Day is aimed at filling positions for "cashiers, retail associates, stockers and receivers, merchandising service associates, drivers, supervisors and Pro sales roles." Human resources VP Janice Dupre Little explains the hiring fair is a "simple and convenient way for any job seeker to apply for an open role," while the company indicates it's looking for both full-time and part-time workers.
