Walmart announced Friday that out of 200,000 people hired nation wide, 4,500 of them were in Louisiana.
This hiring initiative was aimed at providing jobs, while helping Walmart better serve customers during this time of increased demand, according to a press release from Walmart.
Many of these roles will be temporary and serve as a bridge for Louisianians to get through this time, while others will convert to permanent roles.
