Dollar General to Hire 50,000 More Workers to Meet Raised Demand
In a move mirroring those of rival retailers Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT), Dollar General (NYSE: DG) announced on Monday morning it was looking to hire an additional 50,000 workers to meet heightened demand for essential items in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak.
While most retailers are outright shutting their doors in an effort to curb and avoid the contagion, companies that sell consumer goods like groceries, toiletries, and cleaning supplies have mostly remained open -- albeit with modified hours -- to keep consumers supplied with the basics. Dollar General's core business lines are those items which most state and federal governments have deemed too "essential" to mandate store closures.
