Abstract
Britain is currently undergoing a severe economic recession which has increased the number of registered unemployed to over 3 million. Employment has fallen dramatically, with certain manufacturing industries recording employment declines of over 40 per cent since 1978. This article examines recent trends in retail employment and is based on a more detailed paper on retail employment and the recession presented to the Annual Conference of the Institute of British Geographers in January.
