This article talks about the increase that Walmart has had in the last month hiring people of color. The article explains that people of color represent more than 55% of Walmart's new hires between February and July. Also, they also represent more than 25% of retailer's officer positions. Walmart, in recent years, has worked hard to increase its diversity in higher-ranked positions. Jennifer R. Jackson, for example, a black woman, was hired in June as Walmart's newest senior vice president of enterprise strategy, mergers & acquisitions, and strategic partnership. As we talked in class in previous classes, this is a big effort by Walmart to increase diversity which can lead them to better success because of different approaches to new issues.
