Walmart is hiring 50,000 new workers, after hitting its previous goal of hiring 150,000 new employees more than six weeks ahead of schedule.

The company announced Friday the new hires for temporary or part-time positions gives Walmart the “opportunity to provide additional staffing in key areas where it’s needed most,” including at its stores, fulfillment and distribution centers.
