Lowe's Plans to Hire 65,000 People in 2019

Fox Business reports that Lowe's recently announced plans to hire more than 65,000 people — some permanent and some temporary — this year. The announcement comes only two months after the home improvement retailer said it was permanently shuttering underperforming stores throughout the United States and Canada as part of a reorganization effort. Of the new positions, approximately 50,000 will be seasonal and about 10,000 will be permanent. Around 6,000 people will be hired as full-time assistant store managers and department supervisors to help improve customer service and leadership.
