An Oregon McDonald’s is now attempting to hire 14-year-olds and 15-year-olds to work due to “staffing issues,” according to the manager and operator.
“Now Hiring 14 and 15-year-olds,” the sign reads at a McDonald’s in Medford, according to photos posted online.
Heather Coleman, the operator of a McDonald’s, said that raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour at the restaurant didn’t attract many new applicants. When the hiring age was lowered to 15, about 25 applicants came in two weeks, she said.
