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

50,000 jobs sounds like a lot until you realize there are over 13,000 McDonalds in the U.S. And he had a sample size of four?

4 per location is still a lot of hirings. Not to mention if each of the 50,000 cost $10,000 yearly in salary, the cost to McDonalds is 500 mil.

You are assuming they are all new positions, when we know that fast food has extremely high turnover. Just putting in a two-week hiring freeze in advance of the date would probably generate a huge number of open jobs.
