Retail Jobs in Canada

Retail -- the final step in the distribution of merchandise -- is a huge sector in Canada, employing nearly two million people. Though popular establishments consist of automotive dealerships, furniture stores, supermarkets, and clothing shops, others include office supplies stores, gas stations, sporting goods stores, building material dealers, and electronics and appliance retailers. While these are all examples of store retailers, -- selling from a specific location to attract a high volume of customers -- the retail sector also includes non-store retailers who use infomercials, in-home demonstrations, temporary displays, and door-to-door methods to sell goods.
