If you are looking for a job, plenty of companies are desperate to hire as consumer demands shift during the coronavirus crisis.
Big box stores across the country need workers to fill their stores and warehouses as soon as possible.
"All they need right now is workers, and really a lot of them, because the volumes are at all time highs," said Milwaukee Business Journal Editor In-Chief Mark Kass. "So they need them throughout their stores, throughout their warehouses."
Roundy's Supermarkets announced it will hire about 2,500 workers across its 106 Metro Market and Pick 'n Save stores throughout Wisconsin. The jobs are both full and part time, and there are benefits.
"We’d like to appeal to those who have lost their jobs in hotel hospitality restaurant industries," Roundy's spokesperson Jim Hyland said. "And if their job happens to open up again, and they are needed back, we understand that, they can go back. But we think they would be great assets to us in the interim."
