Future of America: McDonald's

 

Thousands showed up to restaurants nationwide to apply for jobs on the hamburger giant's first National Hiring Day, creating lines at some restaurants. The world's largest burger chain planned to use the day to add 50,000 new workers.

"McJob" even has a place in The Oxford English Dictionary, defined as "an unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects."

Salaried managers for company-owned restaurants can make between about $32,000 and $50,000 annually.

The company said last year that about 75 percent of employees at company-owned restaurants are part-time, averaging 18 hours a week.

Three people were struck by a car and police are searching for the individual they say was responsible after a melee broke out at the McDonald's 'National Hiring Day' event in Cleveland.
