Consumer demand has skyrocketed during the pandemic, especially online as customers — in many cases ordered to stay at home — click-and-order to have the essentials delivered to their doorstep. To try to keep up with demand, Walmart last month announced plans to hire 150,000 people across the country, including in fulfillment centers. Through Memorial Day, Walmart also increased pay for all hourly fulfillment center workers by $2 an hour.
