Walmart Inc. said Friday that will hire 50,000 new associates across clubs, distribution centers and stores, filling roles such as cashiers and personal shoppers. Most of the jobs will be temporary. The retail giant has reached its previously-announced goal of hiring 150,000 new associates in less than a month, about six weeks ahead of schedule. Walmart worked with 70 companies that have furloughed workers to find its new staff members, with 85% filling temporary or part-time roles. Workers came from areas like restaurants and hospitality, according to a blog post from Donna Morris, Walmart's chief people officer. The company expects some of these workers to stay on permanently. Walmart stock has rallied nearly 27% over the past year, outpacing the Dow Jones Industrial Average , which has dipped 9.5% for the period.
