McDonald’s big bold plans to get staff back to work
Working at McDonald’s in the US is about to come with a range of new perks
McDonald’s restaurants in the US are set to offer higher hourly wages and help with education costs to attract workers as Covid restrictions ease in the US.
McDonald’s is one of the many hospitality businesses that laid off staff during the pandemic but has since struggled to hire as America opens up.
The majority of McDonald’s stores are owned by franchisees
McDonald’s also plans to help workers find childcare for their children to allow parents more flexibility to come to work.
The new plan, or “Employee Value Proposition” – which is intended to improve the experience of working at McDonald’s restaurants – is based on the responses of 5,000 its workers and managers.
Franchisees own about 93% of the 38,000 McDonald’s restaurants worldwide. And some of those restaurant owners in the US will pilot new perks that include the provision of emergency child-care if employees are called in at the last minute.

All major stock indices are starting the week slightly higher, giving investors cautious optimism. Analysts are keeping an eye on movements in small caps and mega-cap tech stocks amid these early gains.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has climbed to 4.23%, the highest since last September. This follows Kevin Warsh emerging as the frontrunner for the next Federal Reserve Chair, sparking speculation on future monetary policy.
Rising yields could trigger a pullback in small-cap stocks, while investors may pivot toward mega-cap tech, expected to deliver strong earnings growth. Overall, the market is likely to see a neutral to slightly bearish trend next week due to overbought conditions.
