Happy Holidays for retail sales

According to the Nation Retail Federation holiday retail sales are expected to increase 2.8% to about $465.6 billion. Retailers are optimistic for the holiday season, but still remain concerned about economic recovery. The retail industry is in a better position this year to handle consumer uncertainties than it has been in years past. It is also predicted that retailers will hire between 480,000 and 500,000 seasonal workers this holiday season.
