McDonald’s Launches Massive Summer Hiring Spree to Boost Workforce and Business
McDonald’s is kicking off its largest hiring effort in five years, aiming to recruit 375,000 workers across its 13,000 U.S. restaurants this summer. The move supports plans to open 900 new locations over the next two years and comes as the fast food giant battles high employee turnover and slumping sales. Despite already employing around 800,000 people nationwide, the company—often a first job for many Americans—faces economic headwinds as spending from low- and middle-income consumers declines. With a focus on workforce investment, McDonald’s says the hiring initiative will strengthen its competitiveness and positively impact local communities.
April CPI to Reveal First Signs of Tariff-Driven Inflation Amid Market Optimism
Tuesday’s April Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is expected to show the first inflationary effects of President Trump’s tariffs, with headline inflation forecast at 2.4% year-over-year and monthly prices rising 0.3%. Core inflation, excluding food and energy, is projected to hold steady at 2.8%. Economists say tariff-related price increases—especially in autos—may start appearing, though broader impacts could take months. The report follows Trump’s announcement of a 90-day pause on most new tariffs and comes as markets rally on hopes for improved U.S.-China trade talks.

Global Banking Regulators to Prioritize Climate Risk Despite U.S. Resistance
Global banking regulators have agreed to intensify efforts to assess financial risks linked to climate change, focusing on the impact of extreme weather events, according to the Bank for International Settlements. The Basel Committee’s oversight body will also publish a voluntary climate risk disclosure framework, reinforcing Europe’s push for climate-conscious banking policies. While the U.S. has scaled back its involvement—recently withdrawing from global climate finance initiatives—analysts say the Basel Committee’s stance could shape future international banking standards, with European regulators leading the charge and U.S. policy trailing behind.
