February 16, 2011 - 2:03 am

ATLANTA -- Home Depot Inc. will hire more than 60,000 seasonal workers, including 400 in Las Vegas, to help with its busy spring season.

The world's biggest home improvement retailer, which operates 12 stores in the Las Vegas Valley, said Tuesday it will fill the positions before its second annual Spring Black Friday promotion.

"Spring is our Christmas and traffic is at its highest during this season," Craig Menear, executive vice president for merchandising, said in a statement.

Home Depot said the workers, who will be hired and trained in February and March, will be in every market. The Atlanta company has more than 300,000 employees.

Home Depot said it will also add some permanent part-time and full-time jobs this year but did not specify how many.
