So you made an assumption that the competing grocery stores hired extra people for a situation that could have been resolved at any moment and can't back it up with proof?
I assume companies work in their own best interest and have an incentive to stock the shelves to meet extra demand from people buying groceries there that otherwise wouldnt have, you however think the magic stock ferries come out and volunteer their time to help stock shelves to meet extra demand.. it seems you believe in stock ferries that do charity work...

You go with that!!
Since hiring new employees is expensive, I just think they toss a few more hours at their mostly part-time current employees.

You "think"?
Lets do the math..
1600 employees filing unemployment each one may work 25 hours a week, thats 40,000 hours a week being lost.. Syria response, lets just add a few hours to make up for 40,000 lots hours to meet demand..
Wow, thats some heck of a savings you imagined taking place..
The point was that workers are staying on the job longer.
It doesn't matter how many there are if they are retiring does it ?
Except for the early boomers most boomers don't have pensions and need to continue working.
That was the point.
Older workers are making up a larger portion of the workforce today while younger workers are declining in participation numbers.
There just aren't enough jobs to go around.
Exactly. I know many seniors who are still working. As you said, there just aren't enough jobs to go around so why keep increasing our population with allowing more foreigners to come here especially with the number that are here illegally sucking up the jobs.
Nobody said it sunk the economy. Isn't Market Basket a regional chain with stores in other New England states? Didn't they apply for unemployment too?
Almost no one from the grocery chain applied for unemployment from what I understand in the 3 states Market Basket is in. Several thousand at most. Just sounds like another of the endless excuses we hear these past 6 years in this economy.
It sure does. It's hard to save enough to retire on when they change the rules mid game. Many of us planned on a pension when planning our retirement savings but now will not have a pension.
