NEW YORK — McDonald’s, citing the new U.S. tax law and the tightening job market, is expanding its 3-year-old education benefits program, tripling the amount of money some workers can get each year to help pay for college or trade school tuition.<\/p>\n
The fast-food company is also changing its eligibility rules, which it says will double the amount of workers who qualify to 400,000.<\/p>\n
Other chains, including Starbucks, have given workers bonuses or boosted benefits because of the Republican tax law. Large employers have also had a hard time attracting and keeping workers because of historically low unemployment rates.<\/p>\n
McDonald’s Corp. says restaurant crew members will be able to get up to $2,500 per year for tuition, an increase from $700. Managers can receive up to $3,000 per year, an increase from $1,050.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
