Home Depot Hiring

80,000 new hires!  What a monumental effort!

The Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement retailer, is hiring 80,000 associates this spring in preparation for its busiest season of the year. Over the next several months, jobseekers can apply for both full-time and part-time positions close to home, as 90 percent of the U.S. population lives within 10 miles of a Home Depot store.

And do you remember the news from Lowe's back on January 2nd?

Lowe's will roll out hiring events in all store locations over the next three months by region to meet the seasonal spring hiring needs across the country.

Add those 2 numbers up...... 133,000 jobs!  That's (very) roughly the entire population of Savannah, Georgia!  HOLY COW

So many red vests and orange vests to get filled.  Lots of folks needed to sell us our bushes, flowers and landscaping rock.

Oh, bags of manure compost too.


Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
