It's not like this jean jacket is too fundamentally "Gap" to pass as something from Old Navy. And why is Banana Republic named after a joke in an O. Henry story? About how predatory corporations exploit vulnerable, undeveloped nations? Do you think they know? Anyway, they're all having sales: Old Navy has an everything under $25 Sale, plus a smorgasbord of coupons you can snag by signing up for their email list or whatever. Banana Republic has an extra 60% off sale items, and 40% off everything else, except Linen Looks which are 50% off.

USA TODAY In late February, when Allen Kantorowitz was furloughed from his job as sales and marketing director for a hotel group in Manhattan because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he figured he'd be sidelined for two or three months.

Even if the lodging industry were decimated, Kantorowitz surely would find a sales managing job in another sector. Nine months later, the Fort Lee, New Jersey, resident is still fervently job-hunting. And growing increasingly jittery. "I'm putting more and more pressure on myself to not go more than a year" without work, he says, because of both the effect on his fin...

Demand management to complement supply reform, ride out uncertainties Huang Xinyi, 30, who landed her third job this month after a three-month gap in Beijing, rushed to snag another round of free digital coupons issued by the city government to boost consumption across multiple e-commerce platforms. "I did a lot of research to get more coupons on different platforms, mainly online, to order food delivery, and buy electrical appliances and clothes. That saved me a lot of money with which I could buy other stuff that I needed," she said. Amid challenges from COVID-19, trade uncertainties and the restructuring of the global value chain, consumption is becoming increasingly important for China's economic development. The national government has rolled out measures to boost demand. The domestic market has also seen a boom in new forms of consumption such as e-commerce, livestreaming, digitalized healthcare and community services. This year's Central Economic Work...
