[The Purge]How does America maintain a modern economy when skilled workers are certainly being killed at a higher rate than normal and even accidental fires would surely consume cities during The Purge? to say nothing of the countless businesses which would be destroyed by disgruntled employees.

The last one I think is the biggest problem. After the arson, obviously. Even if people did not intend to burn everything down, uncontrolled fires from The Purge would consume entire cities. After that, is there any reason to imagine that disgruntled employees would not destroy their places of work or kill their employers?  There is a pretty big gap between billionaires with private fortresses and small business owners and managers across the country.  Low-level managers would probably be killed in the tens or hundreds of thousands, resulting in massive production problems in every industry.  Low-level to medium level managers are not going to be able to afford armed guards.

America is on its last leg.  The Purge has so thoroughly damaged the fabric of society that it won't be long til complete collapse.  Pretty soon it will break apart into petty fiefdoms and armed fortresses.  Primary means of production will be guarded with large swaths of lawless wasteland in between.
