McDonald’s Corp. plans to hold its first national hiring day on April 19th to fill 50,000 openings at its restaurants nationwide.<\/p>\n
The company 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.<\/p>\n
The company’s hiring goal translates to between three and four new hires per restaurant.<\/p>\n
McDonald’s says turnover slowed because of the weak economy. The company sees an opportunity to attract employees in a tough job market. Although unemployment has fallen by about 8 percent, the rate for African-Americans is nearly twice that. For African-American teens, the unemployment rate stands at 42 percent.<\/p>\n
McDonald’s held a similar event in its Western region last year. More than 60,000 people applied for the 13,000 positions.<\/p>\n
Those who are interested can apply in stores or online. Some restaurants will hold events and interviews that day.<\/p>\n
