Small businesses are facing a worrying trend of closure, especially on the West Coast where restaurants and retailers are particularly affected.
As the pandemic continues to ravage various sectors, small businesses on the West Coast are bearing the brunt of the economic downturn. The retail, dining, and hospitality industries are particularly vulnerable and are struggling to stay afloat. Nevada, Hawaii, and California are experiencing the highest rates of closures per capita, with Las Vegas and Honolulu being the hardest hit. The situation is not any better for large corporations, with Citigroup announcing layoffs, and the airline industry warning of potential job cuts.
