Through out this year there have been a lot of announcements of storte closings and big office cuts. Well here is another office draw down. Academy Sports + Outdoors cuts 100 jobs at Katy HQ
With most major retailers closing stores. And or some that are going out of business completely. It does not look like there is a thriving economy. I really would hate to see sears go under. Because I've liked craftsman since a kid. But kmart has really pulled them down.
With moral being low at a number of jobs. And a lot of companies pulling out all the stops to save $$$. I can't see how unemployment numbers are suppose to be low. But for anyone out there that's down, just be glad you have a job. Because there are a lot of ppl that don't right now.
It would be smart to cut back on spending and stop living check to check for a lot of the U.S. I know folks with 4800 in bills per month. But the monthly house hold income is 5200. That's not enough room for a what if situation. But I'm a professional driver not a life coach. So what do I know.
Retail aint doing good at all in 2017

Unemployment numbers are low because they changed the definition of an employed person. You don't need full time anymore to count as employed. Any job will do.

Sears can suck it. 59 stores closing and they shafted the employees their severence pay. Meanwhile giving management over $7m in bonuses.

Lots of retail shopping has just shifted to online, such as Amazon and Alibaba.
Alibaba.com is pretty much worldwide now for retail shopping & bigger than Amazon.
Ebay is also taking lots of retail shopping from the "brick & mortar" stores.
I just ordered some "Kangaroo Essence" pills through Ebay, from Australia. Some FedEx driver will deliver it to my door. How much easier can that be? Online shopping is just so convenient for practically anything without burning up fuel in a car going store to store.Last edited: Jul 21, 2017
