Retail Operations In The United States During The Outbreak

      If there are too many employees in the U.S. in the autumn, the number of employees who have not been hired in the southern part of the U.S. to hire employees in the fall is too low, and if the number of employees who have not been hired in the fall of the United States is too low, the number of employees who have not been hired in the fall of the United States may be affected In addition, the epidemic situation leads to the expansion of online sales, and delivery to the government or store to pick up goods also increases the sales cost.

Walmart, Kroger and CVs health recruited many employees during the outbreak, but most of them were temporary. Walmart said more than 400000 employees had been employed. Home Depot and Lowe's recruited seasonal employees as planned, and DIY's performance increased due to long-term stay at home. Best buy changed its business model and reduced the number of employees. At first, it could only pick up goods by the side of the road and make an appointment. Now the store has been restarted, limiting the number of customers by 25% and recalling many employees who take unpaid leave.

National Retail Association nal Retail Federation (NRF) said that retailers require employees to change their scope of work or workplace. For example, hourly employees may be assigned to work in different physical stores, or they may be responsible for online orders rather than traditional cashier work. Some employees switch to work related to epidemic prevention, such as reminding customers to wear masks and keep social distance. Although the epidemic has a profound impact on the retail industry, it has zero impact The future development of the sales industry is optimistic, and employment opportunities are still being created.

Spending is expected to hit new highs this quarter as parents are willing to buy expensive technology products such as notebook computers, tablets and headphones, according to the annual NRF survey. Some areas plan virtual teaching or limit the number of days students go to school, which may represent a decrease in the demand for new lunch boxes or backpacks. Although people are willing to spend, there are still many uncertainties in the way of consumption.
