Lowe's said Thursday it wants to fill 50,000 full- and part-time positions this spring, with hiring managers at the home improvement chain set to start interviewing job candidates next week.
The retailer is looking for cashiers, stockers, drivers, supervisors and other workers, and Lowe's said that some applicants will be offered jobs on the spot. The company did not not disclose the typical hourly wages for those jobs. On-site interviews will begin at stores nationwide on May 4. Lowe's said it hired 50,000 seasonal workers earlier this year and converted 90,000 workers into full-time employees in 2020. The retailer has roughly 300,000 employees at more than 2,200 stores in the U.S. and Canada.
