As an organization that has a large stake in the retail industry, Goodwill of Greater Washington is keenly interested and aware of the evolution taking place. In this week’s blog, we look at two questions. First, what are some of the permanent changes we can expect for retail? Second, is retail still a good career choice?
In recent years, it seems the theory of spatial mismatch has become a conversation of workers who reside in urban centers simply not wanting to commute to suburban areas for service industry jobs...but is there more to the conversation?
Just as there is more to Goodwill retail stores than being great places to find quality donated goods at great prices there is also much more to the people who work in those stores as well. They are always striving to better themselves and in turn are constantly building a better Goodwill of Greater Washington. Sari is a perfect example of one of our many exemplary associates.
