I used to regularly visit a village in Austria with it’s only significant employer Faber-Castell. They had a factory there, producing recession proof slide rulers. Within the on-set of pocket calculators, followed by the first generation of computers the company was forced to close the factory within 18 month. 100% unemployment within 2 years in that industry. That’s speedy obliteration!
What caught my eye with video stores was that peak employment was 1999. I would have thought that it would have been earlier.
