The way you put it across Kizzy, you'd think that there was no retail trade in existence anymore. I do wonder where you live that there appears to be no retailers or shops in our towns and cities.
Where do you buy your food, your groceries, your clothing, where do you pay your utlity bills, birthday gifts, christmas presents, your alcohol, your toiletries, personal items?
You appear to have some misplaced notion that online retailing means resourced without humans.... who do you think processes online orders, who receives stock in, bays in and out, does audits, picks, packs, uplifts, delivers, deals with queries, deals with damages and faulty goods, processes payments, refunds etc? Online machinery doesn't do that... humans do.
Perhaps your idea of working in the retail sector is limited to being in a customer facing role only? Very limiting I'd say.
Retraining costs time and money and you ask how that is viable? . How much time do the unemployed have on their hands .... plenty ... so that's not exactly a hardship to spend time retraining when they are not working 9 or so hours a day. thus very viable.
who says courses have to cost money - that's very much dependant on what people want to retrain in. Courses are available free of charge, even foc online.
And of course: the unemployed can be smart and 'retrain' by taking agency work in areas that they don't previously have experience in.... and they can learn new work whilst being paid for it at the same time.
It's all to do with the will to want - rather than 'expecting' it to arrive on doorsteps.
I do wonder how many temping jobs or agencies people actually signn up with - not in an attempt to pretend to be looking - but with real gusto and being prepared to take on temporary work.

There is obviously, I meant that there are other means to access goods and services now is all..
Online....
Call centers and warehouse staff to replace a skilled retail sector eh?..great
Seeing as we are discussing the 'high street' I would say that includes customer facing roles yes.
childcare and travel costs? time is not the only constraint.
Is childcare while you are unemployed to attend these courses also free?
Work for your benefits?...Makes you wonder how there are any jobs doesen't it...if you have the unemployed taking the positions of people who REALLY want to work
Where do you get the notion that those who are not in work DON'T want to work?...I cannot understand your thinking here pyra honestly.
