The report added that the company might reshuffle some workers rather than let them go as it adjusts its stores and fulfillment centers to handle more online orders.
Walmart has avoided the mass layoff that has stricken companies across the U.S. Walmart's rival Amazon.com Inc AMZN said it would eliminate 9,000 jobs in addition to the previously announced 18,000 cuts.
