Home Depot is hiring more than 1,500 seasonal employees in Atlanta and 60,000 across the U.S. as the company readies for its busy season.

The Atlanta-based company calls spring its Christmas, and it is preparing for the seasonal rush by adding workers in February and March. Spokesman Stephen Holmes said the figure is similar to previous years because spring is always a busy season.

The positions usually last about 90 days but could go longer depending on the needs of individual stores.

Home Depot also plans to offer "Black Friday" deals for the second spring in a row, creating events on four weekends when prices will be reduced on live goods and lawn care, outdoor power, eco-friendly gardening products, patios and grills.

“Hiring seasonal associates and offering door-busting deals will ensure our customers have all of the service, know-how and value they need as they look to take on outdoor projects to improve the appearance of their home,” said Craig Menear, executive vice president for merchandising for the company.

Home Depot, which has more than 300,000 associates, will also add some permanent part-time and full-time jobs, but it did not specify how many.
