Dollar General enters the retail 'labor hoarding' war with a $100 million investment to boost scheduled hours for employees
The Tennessee-based discount store brand said Thursday it, too, will, following similar moves from major brands like Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowe's, Kroger, and more. Retailers are taking, in some cases, extraordinary measures to"hoard" workers so they won't be short-staffed when the economy picks up – even as companies in other sectors are laying people off in droves.
Owen pointed out that the focus on hours comes after a 23% wage increase over the past three years — a comparable rate to what other retail employers have reported in recent weeks — though he declined to disclose what the company's average wage currently is.
