    高失业率依然困扰着美国，美国人买东西也挑便宜货。这种情况让以3-8折出售品牌商品的罗斯公司受益匪浅，该公司今年每个季度的销售额都有强劲增长。

    今年第二、第三季度，美国经济放缓迹象备受关注，然而罗斯公司在这两个季度的总营收分别劲升了9%，零售商的关键指标——同店销售额也有5%的良好增幅。

    虽然这家折扣零售商在美国27个州和关岛都已设有门店，但在大市场仍有显著成长。罗斯最近在芝加哥新开了12家店，并制定了宏伟的蓝图，有意将业务拓展至整个中西部地区。

    As high employment continues to plague the nation, Americans have been shopping for bargains. That helped Ross Stores, which sells brand-name merchandise at discounts between 20% and 70%, generate strong sales growth every quarter this year.

    During both the second and third quarter of the year, when signs of a slowing economy were in the spotlight, overall revenue jumped by a robust 9% during each three-month period, while same-stores sales, a key measure for retailers, grew at a healthy 5%.

    Though the discount retailer boasts store locations across 27 states and Guam, it continues to notably grow in big markets. Ross recently opened 12 new stores in Chicago, and has significant plans to expand across the Midwest.
