Retail Job Losses Have Already Reached 10,000 This Year
Data from the Centre of Retail Research has revealed that 9,949 retail sector jobs have already been lost this year.
A further 1,400 roles are also at risk since two more retailers - Beales & Hawkin’s Bazaar - fell into administration in the last week.
Jobs, and in some cases, stores, are being shed by Arcadia, ASDA, Debenhams, HMV, Morrisons, Mothercare, and Sainsbury's.
