As is stands today, there are about 20 million Americans working in the retail sector indicating that there are many jobs from which to choose. Merchandising, information technology, communications, finance and loss prevention are just a few.
2) The retail industry is one of the hot growth sectors in the US with over 2 million jobs expected to be added by the year 2012. That's a massive 10% increase over the next 3 - 4 years.
3) Expect perks that you would normally not get working in other industries. Employee discounts alone could make working in retail a great option for many.
