Macy’s said on Monday that it has lost “the majority” of its sales because of store closings, which started on March 18 and will persist until the retailer has a “clear line of sight on when it is safe to reopen.”
There will be fewer furloughs in the digital business. Macy’s had 130,000 part-time and full-time employees as of Feb. 2.
