http://www.couriermail.com.au/business/mcdonalds-cant-attract-teenage-burger-flippers-due-to-high-paying-mining-jobs/story-e6freqmx-1226064736559THE mining-boom jobs crunch has become so acute in regional Queensland, even fast-food giant McDonald's has been forced to import burger flippers from Brisbane to work in Mount Isa.
Mines have long flown in specialist workers but it's the first time a Queensland takeaway outlet is known to have resorted to the incentive.
Local teenagers have been refusing to work at Macca's because of the ready availability of other higher-paying jobs in the area.
Small business owners in Queensland's burgeoning mining regions say they are also struggling to compete with wealthy mining giants offering large incentives to potential employees.
