Holiday shopping might be “shockingly good”, but I don’t personally know anyone who is going to be stepping up their holiday spending over last year.

LOL...that chart doesn’t appear to show “blistering” hiring compared to the ‘90s, and the population has grown significantly since then. Employment has to go up 200,000 per month just to keep up with the increase in the workforce. At the present rate, it will take 12.5 YEARS to get to where we were in 2006.

We can’t manufacture.
We can’t build.
Part timers are the answer!

The retailer that I am most familiar with is hiring new employees...parttime...and cutting hours of current employees...all parttimers. Their built up inventory is unsold/returned items stored in trailers and put up for sale for a few days before being exiled to the trailers again.

Holiday sales will be huge! Why?
People who have not spent all year, will “make Christmas happen.”
To evaluate this look to the Carter and then Reagan’s early years.

Interesting that even before Halloween...stores around here in Reno were advertising 40-60% off everything then with extra 20% coupons. I told a friend it seems like they are trying to unload everything they can now....

I believe this story. Here in the Washington DC area, things are hopping! Restaurants are full and stores are doing VERY well.
