Also tonight, hiring on the upswing after the economic devastation of the pandemic but now Many Employers are having trouble filling seasonal jobs Stephanie Ruhle explains reporter Atlantic City is getting ready for tourists its going to be a huge summer at the shore. Reporter the only thing missing, workers right now we would like to hire at least another dozen people. Reporter despite millions of people out of work, 42 of Small Business owners like Scott Chronic say they cant fill open positions. The reason, i think frankly is because theres a lot of Stimulus Money out there. Reporter with added unemployment benefits, many without jobs are receiving on average over 600 a week, around 16 an hour. Thats more than some jobs pay, and a lot of those jobs are only parttime. Its a problem from cape cod to California Wine country, and to compete, some businesses are even offering signing bonuses to hire people for the summer from hotels and casinos to small shops on the boardwalk, Tourist Towns Like Atlantic City rely on summer, and less workers means less business. But for over 4 million out of work americans, its fears of covid keeping them home at a job fair in Atlantic City, nine casinos came looking to fill 1,800 positions it ended early only 20 people showed up do you have a backup plan the backup plan is if managers are having to clean rooms and serve guests, thats what were doing. Reporter the Golden Nugget casino wants to hire 150 people dealers, waiters, housekeepers could you afford to pay them more we could, but as we pay them more, the cost of goods goes up and customers are going to be paying more, and its difficult. Reporter a return to summer as we know it might just cost a little more. Stephanie ruhle, nbc news, Atlantic City. Up next, the delivery frontier getting your packages, even your coffee by drone. If youre thinking about oh, you think this is just a Community Center . No. Its way more than that. Cause when you hook our community up with the internet. Boom look at ariana, crushing virtual class. Jamol, chasing that college dream. Michael, doing something crazy. This is the place where we can show the world what we can do. Comcast is partnering with 1000 Community Centers to create wifienabled lift zones, so students from lowincome families can get the tools they need to be ready for anything. Oh were ready. If youre thinking about selling your car, this might be just the right time to do it. Vicky nguyen explains why in the price you pay. Reporter used cars are having a moment. Autotrader says sellers are getting an average of 12 more for their cars, and some are cashing in even higher. I had people literally offering me double the price that i wanted, cash, without ever seeing the vehicle. Why is it a sellers market for used cars . Mainly because of demand so a lot of people decided to get an inexpensive used car rather than use Public Transportation also theres Stimulus Money, and people are optimistic. Reporter the collapse of the Rental Car Industry last year also means fewer used cars are entering the market. And new Car Production has stalled. A Global Semiconductor shortage means we could see 1. 2 million fewer new cars built this year. For sellers and buyers, choose a public place when meeting up a lot of local Police Stations are offering the services of their parking lot to do those kinds of transactions and thats a safe way to do it. Reporter if youre buying, be ready to seal the deal finding a used car has been honestly like finding a needle in a haystack. Its just hard to find something available that i can go test drive and thats not already sold by the time i get to the lot. Reporter if youre looking for a used car, Research Prices on multiple sites. Remember, demand is lower for sedans than trucks or suvs, and always ask for the cars inspection report. Lester. All right vicky, thanks for that with so many of us relying on Home Deliveries during the pandemic, we have a glimpse tonight at the future. Jake ward tells us about an idea thats taking off.

Im going to get some coffee, get a muffin it says it will be here in about five minutes not only is this my first coffee of the day, this is the first hot coffee delivered by drone in u. S. History. Yeah, and its hot new faa rules allow drones to fly themselves to and fro. Wing, an alphabet subsidiary, delivers drugstore items, library books, even Girl Scout Cookies from here. And for now, delivery is free. This thing weighs only 10. 6 pounds, but it can carry 3. 3. Thats about the weight of a Rotisserie Chicken it will lower down, allow our operative to load the package on it, and then theyll take off in a vertical column before cruising at about 180 feet to the customers house. Reporter the technology seems to work. But the question is what happens when the skies and the labor market are filled with these things Drone Delivery could wipe out hundreds of thousands of Delivery Driver jobs but could it also subsidize businesses that cant afford a Delivery Company luke says traditional Delivery Fees would not work for his business, but if air delivery stays free, he thinks flying coffee could be the norm someday. You dont have Drone Delivery whats wrong with you . What do you mean its going to take 30 minutes to get my Coffee Reporter weve come to expect miraculous conveniences and in exchange, weve transformed the economy. Free, nearly instantaneous air delivery could be next jacob ward, nbc news, christiansburg, virginia pretty amazing. Thats one kind of delivery in the air we want to tell you about another now.

The School Building was a place of safety. Covid19 took that safe place away. Reporter when Floyds High School transitioned to remote learning, many students stopped showing up to class. Some lacked wifi. Others didnt want classmates to see their homes. They dont want to turn on their cameras, and they dont want to speak, not because they dont want to engage in their own education but because its so loud in their houses.
