McDonald's Corporation
McDonald's Corporation made 60 filings covering 60 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $150,745 a year. 60 of those 60 state a minimum and no maximum, which is what an employer is required to file — it is the floor it is bound to, not a salary offered.
Green-card sponsorship
McDonald's Corporation filed 11 permanent labour certifications between 2025-11-21 and 2026-05-14, of which 11 were certified. That is the step an employment-based green card starts with, so this employer does sponsor them.

A wage is shown against the prevailing wage for the library year the filing itself cites, not the year current today — measured against the wrong year, a correctly-filed wage reads as underpaid.
