Discount Department Stores

Discount Department Stores aren't as popular as some other kinds of businesses that dominate the nation's shopping malls. Still, across the entire country, there are more than 5,000 Discount Department Stores. Given the current population of the United States, each one of those Discount Department Stores serves about 60,000 citizens on average.

According to national labor statistics, Discount Department Stores will typically employ 100 to 249 employees. So, it's safe to say that Discount Department Stores play an important role in the national economy.
