Mountain-It sounds like your job could be cutting employees hours for the impending holiday season. It's Mid-September it could have came from corporate office to start cutting peoples hours to save for holiday season. There are so many things that affect retail schedules; heck it could be as something as not having the same budget as last year during this time. Factors such as less shopping; which is possible with all the online shopping that is readily available could effect the budget for the current scheduling period.
As for the thought of a recession I don't really see it happening now; but depending on the election next year it could be a very real possibility given the current state of The White House. Will certain industries have a similar fate as the last recession with the lack of disposal income; yes will retail probably be a prime suspect as will the vacation industry; due to consumers tightening the belt. Would I say that now is the time to start freaking out about a recession that may or may not come; no. I still would advice to start a savings fund; then again I think having a savings fund is a good idea regardless of what or may not happen.
