| McDonald's to hire 50,000 workers - in 1 day |
| 2011-04-04 |
| McDonald's, which has 14,000 restaurants in the United States, said the hires will occur nationwide. Normally this would mean that business just picked up enough to add over three new workers to each restaurant. The optimist in me wants to believe this is true, but of course it means that Michelle is not going to be very happy about all the Big Macs folks are eating nowadays. Of course, Barry is going to be getting an earful because she wouldn't dare say this in public. Instead she might offer some B.S. about how McD's offers lots of healthy options on their menu, and how people are for sure ordering more of these. And that's about where my little optimist angel's lips fall off. The pessimist in me is pretty sure that this isn't the case, which makes this move political. |

| #8 And the Dems wanted to ban burgers and fries. They are so disconnected with America. |

| #6 But how many of those hires will be legal residents? Seems like the native language of every Micky-D and Jack-in-the-Box is Spanish around here. |

| #5 They have been hiring right off the street. Just walk in's generally. The assistant manager can make $30000./year. Some areas will be different however.From what I have heard they work a few days and then they are gone. Crime is a problem for them also due to many of their locations and hours.Good job for a senior. Then maybe some benefits. But all most likely will be part time and few hours to work and we call you when we need you so stand by. You may as well be on call 24/7. |

| #4 ...or McD is testing the waters to see if better qualified people are now willing to sign up as bennies are starting to run thin. Has the Great Recession drag on long enough to overcome the bloated self esteem [not to be confused with basics like reading] taught so many in our wretched school systems? |

| #3 McDonald's likely turns over 50,000 new hires every month. |

| #2 No mention of how more workers other restaurants will have laid off so far due to a drop in business, far more workers than McD's will hire. During Lent McD's used to offer a fish sandwich twofer at $3.33, but is not doing that any more. A falling standard of living has many ramifications. |

| #1 Remember when this would have brought all the MSM and liberals out of the woodwork screaming about how all jobs being made during Bush's recovery were only low paying burger flipping jobs? Now they are jubilant about the job creation and teh 0ne's brilliance. The flip flop and deliberate distortion of "reporting" would have made Orwell shake his head in wonder. |
