Lowe's Wants to Hire Over 53,000 Workers to Handle Busy Season

By Allison Prang

Lowe's Cos. (LOW) wants to hire over 53,000 workers for spring, the company said Thursday, boosting its employee base to handle demand in warmer weather.

The associates will be anywhere from full-time workers to part-time or seasonal employees, the company said. The seasonal jobs include stockers, loaders, cashiers and workers for the company's loan and garden sections.

Lowe's said its seasonal hires usually work through the summer and that about half of these workers last year were made permanent employees.

Lowe's Executive Vice President of Human Resources, Jennifer Weber, in prepared remarks called spring "the busiest season for home improvement projects" and said hiring events will help the company meet demand.

The first of the hiring events for this season will be Jan. 8 in select states, the company said.
