McDonald’s and its franchisees are looking to hire up to 143 new crew and restaurant management positions at restaurants in the Orlando metro area during a hiring event on April 19.
The positions range from assistant managers and chefs to hourly managers and swing managers, on a part-time and full-time basis.
A spokesperson for McDonald’s said, the goal is to hire 350 persons across the 9-county Central Florida area and about 1,500 workers overall in Florida.
The one-day event which is taking place nationwide, will seek to bring in and hire up to 50,000 positions across the country, in a combination of both full and part-time positions in close to 14,000 U.S. restaurants.
MacDonald’s said in a statement that, with the investment around the target hiring of 50,000 employees nationwide, it is estimated:
- McDonald’s and its franchisees will spend more than $518 million more in wages and salaries in the coming year, an average of more than $1.4 million every day.
- More than $41.5 million in training will be invested in the company’s new workforce – instilling life-long business and customer service skills as well as setting employees up for success in current and future opportunities.
- The addition of 50,000 potential hires translates into $54 million more in payroll taxes contributed to the broader economy.
- Using a statistical multiplier effect, 50,000 new workers will generate almost $1.4 billion in annual spending – more than $3.5 million per day.
