We earlier reported that McDonald has been pushed to the number two spot now here is what they are up to, remember there has been remarkable job improvement since March. Obama? Ha!
OAK BROOK, Ill. — Fast-food chain McDonald’s said Monday that it plans to hire as many as 50,000 additional employees in the United States later this month, citing improvements in its domestic business in recent months.
McDonald’s will hold its first national hiring day at its restaurants and via its website on April 19 to fill the openings at its restaurants across the U.S.
The new hires would increase the size of the hamburger chain’s U.S. workforce by 7 percent to 700,000 in all, and range from restaurant workers to senior managers.
McDonald’s said its franchisees would be spending an extra $518 million on wages and salaries on those new employees.
McDonald’s operates some 14,000 U.S. restaurants, 90 percent of which are run by franchisees.
McDonald’s recently reported that February sales at its U.S. restaurants open at least 13 percent rose 2.7 percent compared with a year earlier.
The fast food retailer says it is making a concerted effort to add staff as its business improves and as more of its restaurants stay open 24 hours a day.
The company’s hiring goal translates to between three and four new hires per restaurant.
