Walmart confirmed that it has hired more than 100,000 workers to deal with a surge in demand for items as millions of Americans have been told to stay at home.

The Arkansas-based company’s executive vice president of corporate affairs, Dan Bartlett, said in an interview that the huge number of hirings were completed over the past three weeks. The store, like other retailers, has struggled to keep shelves stocked and fulfill online orders amid the (CCP Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
