Overview

  • McDonald’s aims to recruit 375,000 U.S. restaurant employees this summer, its largest hiring push since 2020.
  • The hiring campaign aligns with the company’s goal to open 900 new U.S. locations by 2027, increasing its footprint from over 13,500 restaurants nationwide.
  • The announcement was made by McDonald’s USA President Joe Erlinger and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer at a restaurant near Columbus, Ohio.
  • The initiative coincides with the 10th anniversary of the Archways to Opportunity program, which has invested $240 million in employee education and supported over 90,000 workers.
  • The hiring drive follows a 3.6% decline in U.S. same-store sales in Q1 2025, the steepest drop since the pandemic, reflecting economic pressures on lower- and middle-income consumers.
