McDonald’s announced May 12 that it will soon undergo its largest hiring campaign in years, aiming to add up to 375,000 restaurant employees across the United States this summer, all while the fast-food giant faces declining sales and heightened competition in its home market.
The company, headquartered in Chicago and operating more than 13,500 U.S. locations, attributed the surge in job openings to both seasonal demand and an ambitious expansion plan, executives said during a Monday news conference. McDonald’s intends to open 900 additional restaurants nationwide by 2027.
