Walmart Canada Goes on a Hiring Spree
Walmart's (NYSE: WMT) Canadian branch announced on its website Friday that it intends to hire 10,000 more employees. In addition to the standard, expected roles -- shelf stockers, meat and bakery section workers, greeters, and checkout clerks -- the retailer says it's looking for people to work in the areas of most recent growth, such as e-commerce and delivery, as well as extra warehouse personnel.
The company links its hiring drive to a $3.5 billion upgrade to its stores, which is slated to continue over the next half-decade. One part of the initiative involves expanding pickup availability to 70% of Walmart Canada locations by year-end.
