Home Depot is launching a new “accelerated hiring process” to help curb labor shortages.

The home improvement retailer’s effort to expedite hiring processes comes after 4.3 million people, or nearly 3% of the U.S. job force, left their jobs in December, down from around 4.5 million in November. The numbers are well above pre-pandemic monthly levels of around 3.6 million.
