Retailers are filing for bankruptcy at a staggering rate — and these 19 companies could be the next

Thing is a lot of jobs are becoming obsolete .... this is just the beginning .... and they arent exactly creating enough new jobs or industries to replace em

Don't worry rent is going up to balance it out

my bank in the UK is getting rid of all of its tellers in my local branch there are just machines, you have to wait about 30 minutes just to speak to someone , they are pushing everyone to phone or internet banking .... a lot of people have lost their jobs

In about 5 years time there wont be much need for factory workers due to robots

ten years time no delivery drivers or taxis

fifteen years time the robot prostitutes gonna make the human ones redundant .....

I see a lot of unemployment in the future

And when you call customer service and the person over the phone is speaking with thick accent or they talk fast

We’re becoming economically sufficient. As in we don’t need a lot of people working.

Crime and alcohol spikes.

Soon, Basic Income will save capitalism. No other way to let over 40 million unemployed or underemployed starve to death.

Part of the problem with all of this, is that they have been fukking over those lower tier workers forever, so I don't really care about none of these businesses. The lower tier workers will receive unemployment until they find another job, and that probably for the best because none of these companies are career places for lower tier workers (making above the minimum wage, or at least to a plateau of not being under the line of poverty for 1 person 14,000$).

The corporate folks can find jobs too. These workers are not the ones who will resort to violent crime. Think about it, if they were that susceptible to commit crimes, they would do that instead of working for 7.50 for 39 hours a week (to keep them from receiving full benefits btw). Plus they probably wouldn't pass the drug test that somehow determines whether a person can flip a burger
They will use vast amounts of tax dollars, and the communities they live in will suffer.

But these specific stores are not going to increase the crime rate like that. Maybe for fraudulent crimes.

Some states only give 3 months of unemployment which isn't that much time at all

Yeah, in 20 years time, dont be surprised that unemployment goes over 50%

Why you think white supremacists got guns. They claim it's for us but let's be clear, I know it's coming from them

I hear u, but we don't wanna get to the point where there's basically only one retailer and no competition.

 

[Rekkapryde]

If you are in retail and like it, then you shouldn't have a problem getting into distribution. That's where the jobs will move....

supply chain and logistics
