		<description><![CDATA[Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST), the fifth largest general retailer in the U.S., has reported a better-than-expected performance in same-store sales in August with a marginal dip of 2% compared to an average analyst prediction of 5.7%. Same-store sales measure sales at stores which have been open for at least a year, and are a widely used metric to gauge retailer performance as they measure growth at existing stores rather than at the newly opened ones. August same-store sales of Costco decreased 4% across the U.S. locations, while increasing 3% in the international division. According to the company, the August results were negatively affected to some extent by the shift of the Labor Day holiday to one week later in the calendar. Costco further revealed that discretionary items such as food ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to a report published by Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (JLL), a leading real estate investment trust (REIT) in the U.S., the retail market is likely to recover in 2010, with discount retailers benefiting the most from the recovery. The continued softness in the economy has led to a reduction in disposable income and a cut in consumer discretionary spending. Consequently, consumers are more attracted to national and local department stores and discount stores that offer products at fire-sale prices. The JLL report added that B- and C-level retail centers, which offer merchandise at discounted prices, are better positioned to lead the market recovery through increased consumer traffic in their stores. Furthermore, these retailers are also quite flexible and modify their business strategies to realign the inventory to sales trends. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Employers shed 247,000 jobs last month, while the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 9.4%. Nonfarm payrolls showed the smallest drop since August of last year, and the June loss was revised down to just 303,000 (from the originally reported 322,000 drop). The unemployment rate fell for the first time since April 2008. The numbers were better than forecast. Economists had projected 300,000 jobs to be lost, though the range of forecasts was very wide. Unemployment had been predicted to rise to 9.6%. A big reason for the improvement in the unemployment rate is that many people have either given up on looking for work or settled for part-time jobs. If those people are included, the rate would have been 16.3%. Today&#8217;s report was just one of many signaling that the ]]></description>
