- Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT) looks to hire 40,000 workers in seasonal and full-time roles ahead of the big holiday season.
- Walmart's new workers this year will include seasonal U.S. store associates, truck drivers in full-time positions, and service staff at call centers.
- The hiring will likely bolster its online business and in-store, delivery and pickup operations ahead of a likely subdued holiday shopping season thanks to inflation, higher interest rates, a tight job market, and supply chain snarls.
