FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10: NATIONAL SALESPERSON'S DAY
Profile America -- Friday, December 10th. With Christmas Eve just two weeks away, the nation's retail stores certainly will be crowded for the weekend, as shoppers get into high gear to check off the names on their gift list. It's a time for goodwill and patience on the part of all concerned. In our rush, we may overlook the good work of the salespeople who staff the country's 1.1 million retail businesses, ranging from furniture to auto parts to sporting goods, and without whom shopping would be impossible. Whether part time or career, there are close to 16 million employees staffing these businesses, most of them sharing their expertise and providing service with a smile. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.
