Comment on McDonalds promoted mass employment. Very few locations actually hired.

IN the US we have something called the FTC truth-in-advertising act I wonder how fast some Lawyer volunteers to do a class action suit against McDonalds for false advertising?

There can be any number of reasons why people didn't get jobs. Not sure you can sue them for failing to hire a large group of people.

McDonald's will surely release a press release saying that they hired 50,000 people. How would you prove them wrong?

Hard to do. I don't know how McDonald's works per se, but most chain stores employ an almost completely part-time workforce. "Hiring drives" mean that they are trying to get more people on the payroll, but the budgets for the individual stores don't increase. So not much actual hiring occurs, because the incentive system discourages it.
