McDonalds hiring spree to help West MI
On April 19th, McDonald's Corporation will hire a total of 50,000 nationwide. This includes around 2500 here in Michigan which definitely can't harm anything! Another key point that I loved about the story is that our local franchises reinvest back into the local economies (approx. $0.48 to every $1.00).
You can read the entire story at: McDonald's
People interested in the April 19 event can apply online or in stores. Some McDonald's locations will also hold events and interviews that day.
