McDonald’s (MCD) plans to hold its first national hiring day April 19 to fill 50,000 jobs at its restaurants nationwide.

Charles Rex Arbogast, The Associated Press

The company says it is making a concerted effort to add staff as its business improves and more of its restaurants stay open 24 hours a day.

McDonald’s is hiring restaurant crew and management for full-time and part-time jobs. The company’s hiring goal translates to between three and four hires per restaurant.

Turnover slowed the past few years because of the weak economy, the company says. McDonald’s sees this event as an opportunity to attract employees in a tough job market.

NUMBERS USA

"Our search engine is very particular, so if you don't find a company, it doesn't necessarily mean they're not using E-Verify. For instance, food distributor FreshPoint is all one word, so they won't come up if you insert a space between the two words.

Another common error could come up when searching for franchises. Your local McDonalds is likely owned and operated by a business group that is not located in your city, and they may not have the word 'McDonalds' in their title."

Is their plan to have more part time employees and fewer full time employees

or are they finally replacing all of their illegal alien workers?

McDonald's wants to redefine the McJob

High-profile hiring spree aims to upgrade image of low-wage jobs

To get the word out, McDonald's will be supplementing its recruitment drive with an ad campaign that describes the advantages of working under the golden arches — including flexible hours, medical benefits and opportunities for advancement.

As McDonald’s seeks to beef up its workforce, it’s also trying to upgrade its image as the poster child for low-wage jobs by redefining the term “McJob."

The company said Monday that it plans to sign up 50,000 new workers on a single day later this month — a hiring spree that would expand its workforce by more than 7 percent.

Like many fast-food chains, McDonald’s typically ramps up its payrolls every year to prepare for the busy summer months. This year, the fast-food giant decided to use its announcement as a platform for company managers to stress the career potential of a company and industry that has come to be associated with low-wage, dead-end employment.

In its press release, McDonald’s said it would use the nationwide recruitment drive to invite applicants to “learn that a McJob is one with career growth and endless possibilities."

“That's my story,â€
