NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — McDonald’s said Monday that it is planning a one-day hiring spree of 50,000 new workers on April 19 for its U.S. restaurants.<\/p>\n

McDonald’s (MCD<\/a>, Fortune 500<\/a>) said that these new “Mcjobs” will include crew and management positions, part-time and full-time.<\/p>\n

McDonald’s, which has 14,000 restaurants in the United States, said the hires will occur nationwide.<\/p>\n

“We’re excited to offer 50,000 new jobs, all across America, all in one day,” said Jan Fields, president of McDonald’s U.S.A.<\/p>\n

Fields, who started working at a McDonald’s restaurant as a crew member behind the counter in 1978, said the 50,000 new hires will increase the U.S. workforce to 700,000 from its current level of 650,000.<\/p>\n

She said the average pay for the jobs is $8.30 an hour. That’s compared to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, though in some states the minimum wage is higher. She said that restaurant managers can make $50,000 a year.<\/p>\n

This announcement from McDonald’s is just the latest sign of an improving job market. On Friday, the U.S. government announced a gain of 216,000 jobs<\/a> in March, pushing the unemployment rate down to 8.8%, its lowest level in two years.\u00a0\"To<\/a><\/p>\n
