Bentonville, Ark.—Walmart Inc. announced plans on Thursday to open four new fulfillment centers in the United States over the next two years, creating 4,000 new jobs that will expand its delivery network and make workers’ jobs easier.
The moves come as companies struggle to find and retain workers in a tight labor market. The nation’s largest retailer also plans to widen to all global employees an education and training program launched for U.S. workers in 2016.
