Retail and America’s Road to Economic Recovery

Retail plays a significant role within the nation’s economic health. About 17 million Americans work for brick and mortar stores, according to Abby Jagoda, vice president of government affairs at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, which specializes in owning, developing, and managing retail assets.
