Does Publix supermarkets require a high schooldiploma to be hired?

No. Publix hires employees as young as 14 in certain situations for limited employment. While it is an advantage to have a diploma, it is not required for employment unless there is a specific reason required by the state. One such instance is when a person is applying for work full time when he/she is under the minimum age for full time employment in their state. In this instance, they must prove that they are no longer under the state requirement for school aged children, i.e. they have graduated from high school.
