On the above note is Gymboree files for bankruptcy - Jun. 12, 2017 . It mentions they had 11K employees. I'd expect that to go down by a LOT.
retail is getting killed by amazon et al. is the economy involved? has the national unemployment figure gone up?
National unemployment rate stats below: Bureau of Labor Statistics Data National Employment Monthly Update
those numbers are crazy. must be more jobs starting than ending. funny how wall st and business seem oblivious to the chaos.
