[mEDITate-OR:
miss out on Bill@CRs in depth analysis...
and be worse than an immi-grunt....
stuck doing ALL "The Grunt Work".

Below is the blog post from Paper Economy with a very different, and very interesting take on this same data.
Worth comparing them. Go figure!
------
There MAY be something very different this year.
with both Halloween and Christmas selling seasons moved forward...
and much more intense internet sales.
Which raises two questions:
Did the brick and mortal retailers hire more people, and/or earlier?
Did the web sales drain off many more sales from brick & mortar?
CR appears to be the ONLY one following this.
This 1st chart is the "November" chart.
The next one will be VERY telling.
