McDonald’s hiring 14-year-olds in Oregon amid labour shortage
1 September 2021
A branch of McDonald's in Oregon, US, is calling on 14 and 15 year olds to apply for jobs at the restaurant amid a shortage of fast food workers.
The Biddle Road franchise in Medford put a banner outside its shop two weeks ago, urging younger workers to apply.
According to reports, it has seen a spike in applications since making the offer, which complies with labour laws.
It comes as fast food and other outlets across the US struggle to fill vacancies despite restrictions easing.
Heather Kennedy, operator of the Medford restaurant, told Business Insider such staff shortages were "unheard of" in her family's 40-year history operating McDonald's franchises.
