ZitatTaco Bell, a unit of Yum Brands, says it will increase the number of restaurants in the United States to 9,000 and create 100,000 jobs by the end of 2022 as part of its push to reach $15 billion in sales.
Taco Bell, which operates about 7,000 restaurants in the United States, generated revenue of about $2 billion in 2015.
The food chain employs 40,000 people in company-owned stores in the United States.
Taco Bell's U.S. expansion follows its plans to grow its international store base to 1,000 restaurants by 2022.
I am pleased Taco Bell will give so many people employment but these kinds of jobs, minimum wage and dead end, are just so typical of the Obama economy. I wonder if Obama will announce this at some point and claim credit.
