McDonald's Wants To Hire 50,000

MacDonalds has announced it wants to hire 50,000 new workers on April 19. This is good. The problem lies in the fact that whatever companies do there's always a glitch.
Will the Obama administration slam this move because we're talking, gasp, burgers and fries? What about it being only another service job? I happened to check out the number of manufacturing firms in Ohio ten years ago. I had to get to number eight before I found one and that was LTV Steel, now drastically reduced in employment. The first seven were service oriented.
Congrats to MacDonalds for trying to do it's part but most of these jobs will likely go to high school kids, not that there's anything wrong with that EXCEPT, they don't pay rent, auto payments, groceries, utilities, or medical insurance. It may be a boon for the elderly and newly liberated moms.
