Home Depot to Hire 80,000 Workers for Spring

phillyskater/iStock Editorial/Thinkstock(ATLANTA) — It may be snowy and cold in many parts of the country but things are warming up at Home Depot.
The Atlanta-based home improvement retailer announced on Tuesday that it is beginning to hire thousands of temporary workers in time for spring.
“We’ve actually begun our push to hire 80,000 seasonal employees for our stores,” Home Depot spokesperson Stephen Holmes told ABC News Radio. “Spring is our busiest time of the year — in fact, we kind of call spring our Christmas.”
Holmes said the positions range from cashiers to lawn associates to working outside in the garden center.
He added that some of these new hires will have the chance to continue working for Home Depot after the season ends.
“When people come on for a seasonal assignment that typically lasts 90 days, about half of these hires typically stay on with the company,” Holmes said.
