JimLur, that's roughly equivalent to spring hiring every year.

The hiring, roughly equivalent to spring season staffing in recent years, includes job opportunities in sales, operations
and cashier positions across all departments, the company said. Merchandising teams also seek new associates
to set product displays, maintain store appearance and help keep products customer-ready, Home Depot said.

With unemployment low and demand for new homes high, a company like Home Depot could be
spending most of its surplus billions on raises for workers or the rollout of new stores.

Instead, the world’s largest home improvement chain this week announced that it is using $15 billion to buy back shares
of its own stock, a move that will reward shareholders including chief executive Craig Menear and other top executives.
