New tariffs and a slowing job market are creating challenges for retail sales. In this context, EY-Parthenon Chief Economist Greg Daco and Retail Sector Leader Will Auchincloss discuss strategies for adaptation. Retailers may face higher costs and reduced sales volumes as consumers become more cautious with spending due to softening labor conditions and rising inflation. To navigate these challenges and drive sales, retailers should focus on optimizing pricing, enhancing customer loyalty, refining product assortments, and boosting productivity through AI integration.
