The new Military Spouse Career Connection builds on the plans to hire 250,000 military veterans by 2020. So far, Ohio Walmart stores have hired 6,600 veterans and the nation has added 212,000, according to a company statement.
“Walmart has offered me amazing career opportunities after I completed my military service. I honestly did not know what career direction I was going to take once I came home,” said Ed Gregorek, store manager at a Cleveland Walmart who served 13 years in the Army.
