i was listening to richard wolff's economic update and theres 1.2 million americans working in retail sector down from 1.8 million in 2000. this is a substantial drop and this is in addition to the fact that a significant number of malls are closing.
on the other hand i am not in favor of retail jobs because i think they are unfufilling for most workers not to mention low paying.

Retails jobs, for the most part, are not meant to be careers.

If nothing else, Jeff Bezos has transformed our marketplace and forced the more conventional brick and mortars to either think outside of the box or suffer the consequences (Block Buster, Borders, etc.).

Very hard to tell the difference if you are willing to be honest.
fraud
frôd/
noun
noun: fraud; plural noun: frauds
wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.
Mark Baum: We live in an era of fraud in America. Not just in banking, but in government, education, religion, food, even baseball... What bothers me ins't that fraud is not nice. Or that fraud is mean. For fifteen thousand years, fraud and short sighted thinking have never, ever worked. Not once. Eventually you get caught, things go south. When the hell did we forget all that? I thought we were better than this, I really did."
this whole system is fraudulent; based on lies, and it will end very badly

When people do work for me, I pay $15-20 an hour.
When they bring their own tools and infrastructure, I pay them $30.
Deduction: The $10/hr differential pays for his/her tools, consumables (gas, oil), and a reasonable opportunity cost. Opportunity cost = Investors can make profits of a reasonable amount.
So, in your case, workers show up and go to work and get paid $10 and the other $10 pays for infrastructure (building, sorting belts, package car, etc.), upkeep of the infrastructure, consumables, and an opportunity cost.
I agree $10 an hour is not reasonable ... I even pay illegal Mexicans $20 - $30 / hour.
Actually, I don't know but they are short, olive skin and speak Spanish.
