I worked in the Lowe’s garden center about 4 years ago (while pregnant, not something I recommend, lol). I was hired in March of that year and a lot of seasonal people were hired at the same time as I was.
We’re probably seeing a lot people being hired to work in jobs related to the outdoors. We just retained the services of a landscaper to do our yard 3x/month and a lawn company to spray for weeds and fertilizer ever 5-6 weeks (we’re selling our house and dh is already gone to Ohio, so it’s to save me time and trouble of worrying about yard work).
Lowe’s, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Ace, all are in full garden shop mode now..................
