The lukewarm gains in the retail sector have come despite a broader economic groundswell, with Trump's corporate tax cuts giving businesses a balance sheet boost, goosing GDP growth above the rate many economists feel is sustainable. As an example the thriving shift toward automation at retailers nationwide, Walmart announced earlier this year that it is expanding its"Scan & Go" technology to an additional 100 locations across the U.S. For consumer staples like groceries that customers still don't feel comfortable purchasing online, Kroger's new"Scan, Bag, Go" platform will allow shoppers to scan their items themselves and allow the chain to cut cashiers at 400 locations.
Perhaps emblematic of the struggles of some retailers to keep up in the modern era, the October bankruptcy filing of Sears Holdings represented for many economists a key moment in the shift toward a leaner business model.

Booming job market... 🤔I don’t see it. As a mechanical engineer living in Chicago, there are hundreds of people always applying for the same jobs. All the undergraduates I graduated with took AT LEAST a year to get a job. It is not as they say.
CORRECTION: COOKED job market news PREPARED using information from documents produced using BAKED NUMBERS at the department of LABOR is leaving BOTH Jobs & Retail Industry behind.
Could have something to do with self checkouts ? and paying 15.00 dollars a hour ? Their prices have gone up ,so I just have mine delivered through Amazon.
