The Economic Depression Reflected By The Overheating Of "Black Friday" In The US

This year's "black Friday" shopping after Thanksgiving is very hot.

According to a survey released by NRF, 33% of people said they would surely enter the shopping mall after Thanksgiving Day, and the proportion was obviously higher than that of last year's 27%.

Last year's "black Friday" brought us $45 billion in sales to the national retailers, and 212 million of the consumers came in and went shopping.

"Black Friday" is overheating or even overheating.

The New York Daily News reported that at least 20 shoppers suffered minor injuries, and police are still looking for the woman who shot pepper.

What's more, in North Carolina's Fayetteville shopping center, panic buying triggered a shootings.

Police are now looking for two suspects. Fortunately, no one was injured.

In addition, media reports said a shopper was robbed outside a WAL-MART store in San La Rowe, California, and was injured and seriously injured during the robbery.

In South Carolina, a 55 year old woman was shot and wounded for being robbed near WAL-MART.

On the evening of 24 nights, reporters in Manhattan, New York, on the east side of the street, a "best buy", thousands of people lined up in cold winter nights for the opening of the electronics store.

After that, the store was filled with shoppers for most of the day.

Although the "black Friday" shopping is booming, this kind of heat seems to reflect another kind of depression.

Some commentaries say that the "black Friday" is just because many people do not dare to spend money on shopping at all times. They are waiting for the "shopping season" to open the discount products after Thanksgiving.

The actions of the big businessmen seem to confirm the above statement. Today, for American retailers, retail giants are struggling to grasp the black Friday shopping day as they are increasingly worried about the weakening of consumer spending in the shopping season.

For this reason, the traditional shopping season starting from "black Friday" started ahead of Thursday night.

To take the lead, GAAP's Old Navy mall and Sears's K mall opened on Thanksgiving Day, and the toy Roundup opened on Thursday night.

In order to shorten the gap between business hours, discount retailers' target, big business best buy and famous department store Messi also opened at midnight on Thursday.

WAL-MART's "black Friday" special price was advanced to 10 Thursday night.

Vitali, executive vice president of best buy, said, "we are trying to respond to customer requirements."

After Thanksgiving, online Monday has not yet arrived, and businesses have already launched online.

A survey released by McClatchy-Marist this week showed that 53% of the respondents said the US economy was still going bad, and 41% of the respondents said that the worst time for the US economy had passed, while about 3/4 of the respondents believed that the US was still in a recession.

Today, Gallup's report also points out that the percentage of Americans who are optimistic about their economy is below 50%.

In August, the figure was still 53%, today the figure is 49%.
