(Reuters) – Walmart (NYSE:) Inc said on Wednesday it was planning to hire about 150,000 new U.S. store workers, most of them permanent and full-time, in preparation for the busy holiday season.

The U.S. retailer also said it would offer extra hours to many of its store workers during the period, days after rival Target Corp (NYSE:) also said it would provide more work hours for its retail employees.

In order to keep their employees happy during holiday shopping season which begins one day after Thanksgiving, many retailers offer raises or other incentives.

Walmart announced previously that it would employ 20,000 employees in its supply chain facilities as permanent positions to accommodate the shift to online shopping due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
