Let’s see if my math skills are still OK for a 59 year old retiree. 1200 stores; probably 200 employees per store, (part time and full time, commission, hourly and salaried). That would be 240,000 lay offs nationwide. And don’t forget the seasonal employees that now won’t get the summer/winter work. Way to go Barry.
When these quarter of a million people apply for unemployment we'll be told that the unemployment rate miraculously went down to 7.9%.
