Shocker: Only 6 Out of 100 Applicants Can Get a Job at McDonald's -- It's Time for Politicians to Stop Ignoring Our Jobs Crisis

Last week, McDonald's announced with much fanfare that, after sifting through more than 1 million applications, it will be hiring 62,000 new workers. As one sly writer noted, a higher percentage of applicants got rejected by McDonald's than by Harvard, though the prestige of flipping Big Macs is not yet on par with a Harvard degree. We will not "win the future" by relying on low-wage service sector jobs to lead employment growth.

McDonalds IS NOT A REAL CAREER unless your on the board of directors. Fast Food Services IS NOT the NATIONAL JOB path we should be going down what-so-ever.

I love HOW Mickey D's is promoting working for them IS a "CAREER". Working 10 hours a week flipping burgers IS NOT A CAREER". And the corporate scum will CONTINUE to perpetuate this LIE again. and AGAIN until the mindless BELIEVE.
