Walmart Is Hiring Thousands This Week — @ $20/hour On Average

Walmart has announced that it is holding a two-day supply chain national hiring event this week with an average wage offer of $20.37 per hour for its associates and operators. The company’s hiring event comes as many industries experience supply chain issues and labor shortages amid the nearing holiday season.

The retail company’s job posts include warehouse associates, power equipment operators, order fillers, lift drivers, freight handlers, technicians, repair technicians, and entry-level technicians. Scheduled Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 3-4, the event will take place in various states to accommodate applicants.

Five Walmart hiring events will be held in North Carolina, including in Hope Mills and Troutman, NBC affiliate WRAL-TV reported.

In September, Walmart said it was hiring 20,000 permanent supply chain associates as the company’s supply chain continues to grow. As part of its efforts to attract new hires, the retail giant said the opening of six new Walmart Academies should help support associates in gaining the necessary skills and experiences for their jobs.

Walmart added that it will pay 100% of books and tuition fees for associates who decided to pursue further education through Live Better U, which has degree offerings through Bellevue University, Brandman University, and the University of Florida.

Walmart is joining other retail industry companies in attracting new talents. Amazon has announced plans of hiring 150,000 seasonal employees with a starting pay offer of $18 per hour. Amazon also offers sign-up bonuses of up to $3,000.
