Lowe's Announces a Spring Hiring Binge

With a home improvement boom triggered by government COVID-19 lockdown orders under way since 2020, Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) is planning a spring hiring fair next week at which it expects to add 50,000 employees to its payroll. Scheduled for May 4, the National Hiring Day is aimed at filling positions for "cashiers, retail associates, stockers and receivers, merchandising service associates, drivers, supervisors and Pro sales roles." Lowe's has attempted to capitalize on the growth of home improvement by expanding its appeal to contractors rather than simply the do-it-yourself (DIY) market.
