Home Depot said Tuesday that it will hire more than 60,000 seasonal workers in anticipation of a springtime rush for home improvement supplies.

“Spring is our X-Mas and (customer) traffic is at its highest during this season,” said Craig Menear, executive vice president for merchandising at Home Depot.

The seller of home improvement tools and supplies refers to this period as its “spring Black Friday,” a reference to the day after Thanksgiving that’s the traditional kickoff to the year-end holiday season.

Home Depot said it will hire seasonal workers during the months of February and March.
