Home Depot is on a hiring spree.
The nation's largest home improvement chain, based in Atlanta, said Wednesday it's hiring more than 80,000 workers nationwide for its busy spring season, the same level as in recent years. The retailer estimates that more than half of the temporary workers stay on for permanent employment.
The part-time and full-time jobs include sales, operations and cashier positions across all departments in stores as well as jobs at its distribution centers.
The hiring comes as Home Depot has been benefiting from shoppers' increasing shift to renovate their homes in a housing market that has been solid.
