WEST MONROE, La. (KARD/KTVE) — Within the next three months, McDonald’s restaurants across Louisiana are planning to hire a whopping 4,361 employees.

“As local business owners, we’re proud to provide employment and educational opportunities to our crew members and look forward to welcoming new employees to our McFamily,” said local Monroe-area McDonald’s Owner/Operator Tony Gilley.

“We are a people business at our core, and as we start to welcome customers back into our dining rooms, the safety of our employees and customers is a top priority, as it has been throughout our 65-year history.”
