Consumers buying patterns are changing throughout the world with the West experiencing the fastest changes, as retail moves online. People are now buying spending $1 online for every $1 in the shop, and that trend is likely to grow.
So what does that mean for retail jobs and retail employees? In short less shop fronts, means less shop attendants who are being replaced by more online marketers, more delivery and more packing staff. The employment demographic of today’s retail operation is changing.
Job sites are backing this trend with more job adverts for such retail jobs being posted in the arena of packer jobs, driver jobs, delivery jobs and the demand for online marketing jobs has reached an all time high.
