What's new: For its next major push, the company announced Wednesday it plans to hire the elderly to fill summer jobs. USA Today's Charisse Jones writes: "If you're looking for a gig in your golden years, you might want to check under the Golden Arches."
- "The fast-food giant will post positions on AARP's online job board as it tries to fill roughly 250,000 jobs over the summer. McDonald's is also working with the AARP Foundation to launch a pilot program in five states that will help match lower-income older Americans with potential jobs."
- That trend is moving in exactly the opposite direction for older workers whose labor force participation rate is expected to keep rising, with the fastest pickup happening in the oldest segments of the population, those 65 to 74 and 75 and older, the Bureau of Labor Statistics says.

So much for fast. Like it ever was.
Imagine that!! McDonald's forced to turn to the generation that knows getting out there and working for what you want/need. IT'S sad that the reason the elderly are having to work is to offset prescription costs
Better get Better food , like Hardees has !!!!
Mac's is JUnk !!!!
Can’t find enough young kids to fill the bill because they are too busy playing video games
