NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Get those orange aprons ready for the spring cleaning rush.

Home Depot announced Thursday it plans to hire 70,000 temporary workers at its U.S. stores to handle its spring selling season, the busiest time of the year for the home improvement chain.

How do you like them numbers Mitt?

Yes its temporary but still a good good sign.

I wonder what Intrade will do with this news.

Republicans having heart failure all over the country with this good news.
