In April 2021, several news outlets reported that the fast food chain Taco Bell had announced its intention to hire 5,000 people in one day, later on that month. On April 6, for example, CBS News published an article with the headline Taco Bell Plans to Hire 5,000 People in a Single Day on April 21. That article stated that: Taco Bell plans to hire at least 5,000 workers in a single day later this month when the Mexican-inspired food chain temporarily converts restaurant parking lots into job fairs. Similar articles were published by MarketWatch, CNBC, and the Reuters news agency. Those reports were largely accurate, and based on a news release posted by the company itself on April 6. In that news release, Taco Bell — which is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands — wrote: The company presented its target as hiring at least 5,000 people from the job fairs — that is, employing that number of workers as a result of meetings and interviews that were to take place on April 21. That's a bit more carefully worded than the headlines in the news articles highlighted above, which suggested all 5,000 hirings would take place on a single day. As a result, we are issuing a rating of Mostly True.
