Black Friday is a very significant date in the United States, mainly due to its importance in commerce and the economic gains it generates. This event, which is celebrated the day after Thanksgiving Day on Friday, November 24, marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Over the years it has become a phenomenon that has a great impact on the country’s economy, characterized by massive discounts and special offers that attract crowds of shoppers to physical and online stores.

Once Black Friday starts, there will also be a lot of competition for deals on the Internet. Everyone will offer their products at low prices so the competition will be very tight. This movement not only benefits consumers, who can purchase their expected products with a lower budget, but it is also of great importance for retailers and the economy as a whole.

As Black Friday approaches, retailers hire temporary employees to meet the growing demand. This provides employment for a large number of people during the holiday season, which has a positive impact on the economy by reducing the unemployment rate and increasing household income.

U.S. shoppers spent a record $9.12 billion online in 2022, still withstanding the pressure of high inflation and managed to take advantage of deep discounts on everything from smartphones, clothes, shoes and even toys, so this year, the numbers are expected to rise, corroborating the online commerce revolution.
