Johnstown, Pennsylvania was once prosperous from its steel industry and offered a clear path to the middle class. For generations, people could walk out of high school and into a steady factory job. But when the factory jobs left, a greater share of the work force ended up in retail. Now, as the industry struggles to adapt to online shopping, the local retails jobs are vanishing, too. The Johnstown metropolitan area has lost 19% of its retail jobs since 2001, and more than a dozen stores at the mall have closed. @george_etheredge took this photo of a going-out-of-business sale at the sporting goods store Gander Mountain in Johnstown. Big-box retailers like Walmart were often blamed for destroying mom-and-pop stores but at least created other jobs for residents. The damage from e-commerce plays out differently. Online retailers may attract customers from small towns, but they’re unlikely to employ them.
