Kroger Plans to Add 11,000 Jobs at Its Supermarkets
The Kroger Co. plans to fill an estimated 11,000 positions in its supermarket divisions, including nearly 2,000 management positions, over the course of 2018. The grocery giant created 10,000 new jobs in 2017 and 12,000 in 2016, figures that don’t include temporary construction jobs or headcount increases due to mergers.
“Over the last decade, Kroger has added 100,000 new jobs in communities across America,” said Tim Massa, Kroger group VP of human resources and labor relations. “In addition to fueling the U.S. economy, many of our supermarket jobs are an opportunity for associates to grow and advance their careers.”
In addition to job creation, Kroger is investing an incremental $500 million in associate wages, training and development over the next three years, as part of its Restock Kroger initiative.
