Many of these individuals were in the labor force and firms were compelled to let them go. This situation may lead to a negative payroll number without an increase in the official unemployment rate. Healthcare and leisure/hospitality sectors are expected to be most affected by these job losses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics lacks a specific method to track these types of layoffs.

Well, under the legacy nameplates, a big part of the department store shopping experience was enjoying the full-service sit down restaurants in-store. Bloomingdale's I believe still runs their restaurants in house. However Macy's, unlike many of the legacy nameplates with the exception of the former Marshall Field's, Walnut Room (was run in-house) and lease-op Herald Square restaurants,Rockaway,NJ and perhaps a few others are all there is.

What are your thoughts ? When these restaurants were well operated, they drove traffic ! (Yes, I know the food courts changed the business in the 80's, but respectfully, some insight and other contribution and opinion would be appreciated.
