Retail plays a significant role within the nation’s economic health. About 17 million Americans work for brick-and-mortar stores, according to Abby Jagoda, vice president of government affairs at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, which specializes in owning, developing, and managing retail assets.

And despite the narrative that retail is dying to e-commerce, she says, sales at physical stores have climbed in recent years. Jagoda joins the podcast to explain the important role retail plays on the road to economic recovery.
