Walmart plans cautious holiday hiring amid slowing U.S. economy

Walmart Inc sounded a cautious note about holiday retail sales on Wednesday, planning to hire fewer workers than last year as it prepares for the critical season in the middle of a slowing economy.

The largest U.S. retailer announced plans to add 40,000 workers in seasonal and full-time roles in a blog post by Maren Waggoner, senior vice president of field people for Walmart (NYSE:WMT) U.S.

Walmart in September 2021 said it would hire 150,000 workers. While this included some seasonal staff, those hires were mostly in full-time, year-round positions to cover COVID-19 absences. That led to overstaffing that dented Walmart’s profits in the first quarter of 2022.

This year’s hiring is expected to bolster the company’s online business and its in-store, delivery and pickup operations ahead of what is expected to be a subdued holiday shopping season. U.S. retailers face inflation, higher interest rates, a tight job market and supply chain snarls.

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, Waggoner said.
