Is this the Beginning of the End of the brick and mortar retail industry? These stores typically report big profits after the Holidays but now they’re going bust. Online shopping is has completely taken over this industry. I’m not sure how many retail workers there are in the US but I guess it’s in the millions. What are those workers going to do when all of the brick and mortar retail jobs disappear? Might be a good time to start looking for a career change. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/04/is-your-sears-or-macys-closing-heres-a-look-at-the-stores-that-will-go-dark.html
