Online retailers, pharmacies and more are adding thousands of positions.

and more have all announced a number of new positions amid the COVID-19 pandemic as their industries need more hands on deck than ever.

Hilton confirmed to ABC News that it is working to find temporary jobs for tens of thousands of displaced hotel team members through its newly created workforce resource center website. Partnering companies include Albertsons, Amazon, CVS, Lidl, Sunrise Senior Living and Walgreens. The coronavirus outbreak is causing massive market actions and reactions with some companies laying off thousands of workers while at the same time other companies, like the Kroger Company are hiring even more people, as advertised on this electronic billboard, March 23, 2020, in Jackson, Miss., and Hilton said it anticipates adding more jobs and partner companies in the coming days.

36 MILLION Americans are out of work....

Dog gone it! You mean we will have to go back to work? Just when I convinced my wife it was ok for me to sleep late and watch T.V. all day. Shucks, why does Trump and the Republicans keep creating jobs!

UPS, UPSP. Amazon and sanitizing everything.

Good luck. Unemployment pays an additional $600 a week to stay home and do nothing.

Many jobs of sanitizing are out there .

FakeChineseVirusCrisis ReopeningAmerica without LiarsLeakersAndLiberals

Will Trump and republicans sign the House Bill to help states employ Firemen,teachers ,law enforcement, transportation and small businesses this time around. They helped the greedy with the last Bill.

What? I thought you said we were all going to die?

These are low paying jobs. I can't make ends meet working for these companies.

more low wage jobs with few benefits.

Me: Part of the globalist's plans are to destroy all small business and consolidate all jobs under a few global conglomerates to further enslave you. Them: Conspiracy Theorist! Me:

I became a victim for more than 50,000 American in Okinawa, Japan for a rape incident in 1995 by US army. I and my mom 母 deserve the best and an apology and appreciation and best treat. I don't deserve ignorance, abuse, scars and damages on my body..

The great corporate consolidation

& peeps without online access ; get what ?

Are they hiring raccoons too?

When you employees come back to work, you going to fire the new employees?

Walk outs considered ,they quit. Let em starve. Corona for coon

That’s because their people are dropping like flies.

People would be crazy to leave unemployment +600 a week to work for CVS amazon or Walmart

Think about it, in all these areas where the Dem Governors are going to force the people to lock down for another month, there will be no competition anymore for these mega corporations. The little guy will have been destroyed the mega corps will have a monopoly.

Dems can fuck up a bad nightmare!

Learn me as a writer!!

Хоть здесь говорят правду

abc needs more hookers

Amazon & Walmart - 2 of the worst employers in the country!

Theoretically as needs for one service goes down another goes up so jobs should not be dropping unfortunately this is theoretical, but this is a start

Кто виноват в этом?

Pretty sure biden has a legit defamation suit against you

All those same organizations need to source products that are NOT made in China.

What's wrong with the original employees

Oh, i bet. We cant leave the house unless its to risk our lives for the customers of corporate america. Ooh and whats the pay

Could it be alot of workers are out sick

Stay home and stay safe... these companies don't care about you and will put you and yours in jeopardy. They will work you like dogs, pay you scraps and not provide a safe work environment.

The only companies getting rich. And amazon.

How do I know I wont get shot by a racist white kid in a mass shooting if I work at Walmart?

Aren’t you pretty late to this

Im still working but applied to amazon then missed my damn online interview lol

When they announce they'll give all their workers proper protective equipment and hazard pay, maybe people will consider risking their lives.

America: Money people

37,000 to 60,000 die from the flu every year and another 40,000 plus from pneumonia in the U S. This is still more of a pandemic than corona which kills in the pneumonia stage! Did you get your flu and pneumonia vaccine? 50% didn't!

Send the trumptards from hillybilly beach I mean Huntington Beach to these places then if they’re still alive when this ends next then maybe

It is not worth working in a job because rents are too high. Rents must be cut by 75%. People are simply working to give all their incomes 💰 to the corrupt oligarchs who are living like kings and queens.

lihcaS

Democrats not interested

Yes, come and die for Krogers!

That's y I always say,,,the covid impact will be a blessing to many

ABC NEWS

Yes, because the expendables are sick or dead.

We can introduce you to another no-future, low-wage servant post since you have proven yourself to be high quality sheeple ... psst two words: community college

Funeral homes?

Kim Jong Un’s health condition is very serious, and just this morning, the North Korean administration came to the conclusion that it will be impossible for him to recover.-seoul get this on the wires

NO JOBS. REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH FROM THE RICH. PAY US TO STAY HOME. FOREVER. WE LIKE IT. VOTE DEMOCRAT

Bet if you go to AOC ‘s district, she’ll turn you away lol

Am good to go

pdacosta Bodies are dropping... I don't know how to feel about this...

The subtext of the coronavirus crisis is that certain sectors of the economy are flourishing and need more workers.

'Capitalism works!! Please please please dont start thinking of alternative systems!!' This article is an ad

I hope they are paying people correctly, & not using COVID19 as an excuse to downgrade positions? 🧐🤔

A strong 6.4 magnitude Earthquake strikes in Japan Tsunami warning.. ....

And, just where do you think the old employees are?

We have software for individual or groups of businesses to do VIRTUAL meetings of all kinds, including festivals and conferences with worldwide participation. Each business can have its own live exhibit at events that can be live-streamed online.

Will they hire the formerly incarcerated or are we still bullshitting ourselves about justice reform, sentencing reform, and society's role in reentry for those who've worked to transform and met the metrics of 'reform'?

ABC! Millions of Americans are being laid off and losing their Healthcare, it really seems as if these Grocery stores are taking advantage of Americans when we are at our lowest! These Part-time jobs don’t provide health insurance while still providing high exposure to COVID19!

Too bad unemployment pays more

All those losers out protesting could be applying for these jobs if they’re so concerned with feeding their families.they could work one of these jobs while their shut down from they’re current job.Most of these losers probably are to lazy.

Get a job quick! Get on yo feet! Be an independant boss! Don't let Jeff Bezos👨‍🦲 have all the money. Get some moolah for yourself🤑

There is also Walmart Target Safeway warehouse jobs doordash. Get it lad!👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪 Snap it up G

y'all are so adamant about everyone staying home, but post this? sorry, can't be in two places at once.

What the hell happened to the employees they had ?☠️☠️☠️

morticians? grave diggers?

I’ll pass

ChoiceZnewZ Are they willing to test all prospective employees for CoVid-19? Will they request to see the results of those who've already been tested? Or will they be supplying masks & gloves? They need to be responsible to their consumers!! Can't keep going around spreading this thing!!

🤔🤔

Trump needs a second job, he's falling behind on his real estate mortgages.

I would be afraid to go to work under these circumstances.

Attention Comrades: don’t be idle! Contribute to society in one of the government-approved essential workplaces. Don’t be sad about the end of non-essential business and religion. Find joy in doing government-approved work!

Sure, let's all sign up for a minimum wage job, where you will not be allowed to work 40 hours a week, where you can catch the Coronavirus and die; not have heath insurance. Walton children can pay wages of current workers from trust funds & still be billionaires. Let them sink.

Jobs are abundant but few volunteers one because the Governers have orders to shut down businesses two the virus We should be careful of the virus but if this closure stays for a long time the other effects economy domestic violence mental problems suicide drug addiction will ?

Hurry and get exposed to the virus faster? My company gave us $1 extra in hazard pay, it's still not enough.

How many of them fired people for striking till they were provided proper safety equipment or for demanding more money for risking their lives? Cause if that's why they're hiring then fuck em.

Attention journalists!

fakeNews

I'm not dying to go back to work. No, really.

Any spots opening up for FakeNews proganda puppets?

Grocery stores are making money hand over fist

Find some nice strapping pull-em-up-by-the-boot-straps Republicans to do it. They like wage slavery in dangerous conditions, its perfect for them.

Great. Do they have masks for their employees? Wipes? Do they have health safety in place? This should be mandatory, without a doubt. All these companies, are they protecting the shoppers? Are they protecting the employees? Not where I live. Just get the $'s.

They’re working like slave traders.

All low wage jobs with next to no benefits. As Republicans planned.

🤲🤲🤲⚘

But there is an extra $600 a week coming, why would anyone take a pay cut to go back to work?

Morgues

starve them long enough and they will volunteer!

ah, and how's THEIR healthcare insurance, while looking for human cannon-fodder to support those lost so far?

In these times jobs are available but the fear is paramount

じっちゃま hirosetakao の仰る通りですね。

A Republicans Utopia. Everyone working at low wage jobs. Something they've been working towards for forever. Finally , it arrives!

they say that....but actual interviews? no. not happening. nice story tho.

I am very happy to work for one of these companies as far as thry can finidh my resident permete in USA. Please, contact me at ADINEW TSIGE ABEBAW PO BOX 30673 ARAT KILO BR. ADDIS ABABA ETHIOPIA PHONE+251961067360 Email aditsi.abegmal.com

Kroger is not doing enough to protect their employees!

time to push more lives online, which will reform infrastructure

And who will fill these jobs when Govt will pay you to stay home w expanded & extended unemployment

Non essential jobs

Demand $15 an hour!

Turns out when your essential employee cashiers die of COVID you end up with job openings. Weird.

Hey do you also Hire people in Africa too... I am from Liberia. Please let me know victoryforruzii2017gmail.com

I have been job hunting for 6 months (out of work for 14). Now the competition is 100x harder. But I do hope that others land some good jobs that will allow them to keep working from home after this is all over.

How are they going to conduct the hiring process amid social distancing?

Most people lost their jobs due to corona virus

Walmart , CVS , others hiring more than 8,00,000 workers during coronavirus outbreak.

You won't see this story on ABC... How many coronavirus victims are like Jim Santilli? Michigan Man with Coronavirus Has Near-Death Experience – Is Saved by Hydroxychloroquine Treatment… Then UNLOADS on Michigan Governor Denying Life-Saving Drug to the Sick.

Such companies will work you yo the bone & will not pay you for a fair share of work.

Who posted this shit!

I don't want a new job. I want my moronic governor to allow me to go to my existing job.

Yep! Instead of paying employees sick leaves, unemployment, family leaves etc...to alleviate their burdens, INCREASED by this poorly managed Pandemic, they are getting new ones... Using our tax money while THEY themselves got tax breaks. MAKE AMERICA CORPORATES GREAT AGAIN!!!

Hiring thousands at CVS? When I go to CVS you can't find an employee anywhere. Are they changing their business model from one-hundred percent self service?

tell them i will work i want 100 an hour full benefits a 8 to 1 401k flexible hours i work from home and yes i am applying only for the door greeter position So your guest to the door must come to me house to be greeted for this all to happen GetHerdone

Good news in bad situations , choices with caution

Retail. The only employment America has to offer. Part-time only, benefits not included.

You were a nurse, lab tech, hospital office worker, tipped waitstaff, restaurant manager, commissioned retail salesperson, department store manager........... Come work at Wal Mart!

You guys sure could use some real reporters!

I would love to get a job where I could be of service to people dealing with self-isolating, but I have a daughter who was born with a birth defect that will make her susceptible to respiratory illness the rest of her life. She has to be my priority.

This is where the self checkouts are serving customers 😬

Democrats want their free checks! Your wasting your tweet. They will milk this as long as possible. Their fake moral victimizing stay home will bite them. They will take the cheese, Republicans will go to work & Democrats will run out of government handouts & be out of a job to!

How about we stop risking the lives of ourselves, our families, and our communities so the CEOs can sit safely at home making their money GeneralStrike

If they keep operating there won't be any employees left to work for them ever! What about nations are shutting down don't greedy corporate capitalists understand?!! Grass Roots Change for the love of GOD!

Joe Biden is a rapist IBelieveTara

Worth noting that these are mainly jobs where you're likely to get sick & possibly die

I will no longer work for a company with out health insurance.

All these companies hiring yet we needed to waste trillions on bailouts?

But why they're hiring people when there's a quarantine restrictions in every state. It doesn't make any sense. What the American people need is a cure from this deadly virus. So we the American can go back to work and leave a normal life. God bless America our home sweet home 🗽

That’s great!

NY needs ventilator to save the lives of many people—please help. Thank You

Yet they are closing small busineses? Is this make commensene?

All of them test for weed

Hoping the virus is eradicated soon and all jobs will be filled and we will say thanks to God first and the doctors specialists and people and our President

Side note: should we get people who say the economy is worth the risk of the elderly and vulnerable to sign a DNR and lead by example?

So Bernie Sanders saved everyone who got laid off because his bill passed.. thank you Bernie all you mfkrs who got laid off and get paid under 75k a year thank Bernie when you get your regular checks during this pandemic.

What about drivers?

Will they be laid off when coronavirus subsides? ...or are these just more shitty jobs that Americans have to do to survive that offers nothing more than minimal pay, until the bottom line begins to hurt the corporation and they lay them off?

This is good news, but these are pretty much temporary jobs, right?

That is true
