50,000 Jobs In One Day

McDonald's started a campaign today to hire 50,000 new employees across the nation; that equals four new employees per store.  McDonald's has aired campaigns for years promoting the opportunities that come with being a mcDonald's employee and they are really playing it up today to fill the 50,000 positions that they claim to have available.  "According to McDonald's spokespeople, 75% of their restaurant managers and 40% of corporate employees started as restaurant crew members."  In an economy where millions are out of a job, an opportunity like this seems to be really promising to a lot of people.  The truth is, in an economy like today's, the idea of 50,000 jobs is going to get the hopes of a lot of unemployed citizens who are highly unlikely to get one of the positions.
