Aldi issued a press release on their website saying the company will be filling 13,000 store and warehouse positions nationwide before the rapidly approaching holiday season.

The press release also discloses that Aldi is increasing its national hourly pay and depending upon whether you work in a store or in a warehouse, you'll be starting at $18 or $23 an hour. Pretty sweet!

If you think about it, that's almost $50,000 a year! $23 per hour and a 40-hour work week? Heck, that's better than my salary! Atty McGrath, president of Aldi, says this in the press release:

“Our ability to attract and retain talent has always been key to our success, and we look forward to helping our new
team members grow in their careers."

One of my first jobs was working at a grocery store (Stop & Shop) and I loved it. I worked in the video rental department and I loved talking to customers, finding out what kind of movies they liked, and then giving them some recommendations based on what they told me. Remember VCRs? That was a great time in my life.
