Home Depot Targets Retirees for Jobs

Home Depot is partnering with the AARP to hire older workers.  Home Depot plans to hire 35,000 employees this year with hopes that a significant portion of these jobs will include retirees or people on the verge of retirement.  This marks the first time a national retail chain has targeted older workers for jobs.

Home Depot will hire.  AARP will recruit and train.  Jobs will pay $7 to $20 an hour, both full-time and part-time.  Workers must be 55 or older to qualify for the program.

Now we’ll look for Target to be right on target when it targets retirees, too.
