McDonald’s Announces Massive Hiring Spree: Addressing Turnover or Political Optics?
McDonald’s announced plans to hire up to 375,000 workers this summer, its largest hiring target in years, coinciding with the 10-year anniversary of its employee education program, “Archways to Opportunity.” This significant hiring spree comes amidst the company’s expansion plans, aiming to add 900 new U.S. restaurants by 2027. The move follows McDonald’s efforts to maintain positive relations with the current administration, including a donation to the previous presidential inauguration. The increased hiring also addresses the typical summer surge in demand within the fast-food industry.
