As large companies like Amazon and Wal Mart expand into local communities, their impact on local employment dynamics is significant, as the local warehouse employment base runs to the new National brand. It’s well documented that initially, these large brands increase retail employment by about 2.2% in year one, but the long term impact is a reduction in overall employment by nearly 3% within five years. Regardless, the impact on the local supply chain is felt immediately.
