These 9 Companies Plan to Hire More Than 10,000 Workers

While many struggling retailers, manufacturers, and other hard-up U.S. companies have laid off thousand of employees this year, some employers are increasing their headcounts by huge numbers. Near-record-low unemployment rates have led to a tight labor market.

"We continue to see a really strong labor market, and with almost 6 million jobs open in the U.S., and 200,000 new jobs created in January 2018 alone, there are job opportunities for many throughout a variety of industries," wrote Glassdoor career trends expert Sarah Stoddard in an email to The Motley Fool. 

When it comes to lowering the unemployment rate, some companies are more than pulling their weight. In fact, every business on this list -- which includes technology companies, retailers, restaurant chains, and more -- plans to hire at least 10,000 people in 2018.
