Over 41,000 retail workers lost their jobs in the first two months of 2019.

This led to a rise of 92% in layoffs over the previous year. What is causing this?

Many attribute it to online sales which ate into physical store revenues for years. The online retailers had a poor holiday season also which negates some of this argument.
