round and round and round it went
where it stopped leads CNN 10. I'm Carl Azuz
We're talking about the runaway
Chinese rocket we told you about last
week
it launched on April 29th with the
mission of putting part of China's new
space station into orbit
that'll be assembled from several
modules like this and the communist
country expects its station will be up
and running by the end of 2022
well the rocket got its module into
space that part worked
but then the rocket went out of control
and started heading back down toward
earth
China and the United States both say it
re-entered our atmosphere on saturday
nightexperts told people not to worry they
expected it would land in an ocean
somewhere as 70 percent of the earth's
surface is covered by those
and as of sunday it looks like they were
right China's government-run news agency
says most of the rocket burned up in the
atmosphere
and that the remaining debris landed in
the indian ocean
china's space agency gave coordinates
that put the rocket's wreckage
a little west of the island nation of
maldives u.s space command says the
vehicle entered somewhere over the
arabian peninsula at 10
15 eastern time on saturday night but it
hasn't confirmed yet if the rocket
landed in the indian ocean
officials are trying to find out where
exactly the parts came down
the administrator of nasa has criticized

ten-second trivia which of these u.s
government departments was created first
is it the department of education labor
energy or transportation
the department of labor was established
in 1913 and it releases the government's
monthly jobs report
it was not the flood of rehiring
economists had predicted
more like a trickle april's jobs report
shows a job market struggling to rebound
economists had expected america would
add a million jobs
the economy still down 8.2 million
positions in the pandemic
now most of the hiring happened in
leisure and hospitality as
states have allowed greater numbers in
bars and restaurants and his
vaccinations have allowed for more
travelthe leisure sector though still down
some 2.8 million jobs
since february 2020. the unemployment
rate rose slightly to 6.1 percent
the job market is still in a deep hole
and the damage has been uneven
lower income earners women hispanic and
black workers bore the brunt of the
layoffs
and millions are still out of work and
some employers report
trouble finding workers there are a half
millionfactory job openings right now and
elsewhere some workers may be reluctant
to venture back into the labor market
for three reasons fear of contracting
the virus
a lack of child care with children out
of school and the cushion from 300
a week extra in jobless benefits the
potential good news for workers
employers may have to pay more to
attract talent average hourly earnings
jumped 21 cents in april
so as the economy heals montana and
south carolina are opting out of that
300 a week in extra jobless benefits
they cite labor shortages
and they call it a disincentive to
return to work
the shortage of workers in certain
fields is part of the reason why certain
goods are hard to come by who would have
thought it'd be hard to get
fried chicken it is for kfc and some
other restaurants like buffalo wild
wings and wingstop
the prices they pay for chicken have
gone up and a big reason is that the
groups that supply it
are having trouble finding employees and
keeping up with demand
we've told you how bicycles computer
chips ketchup packets and lumber have
become harder to find
same thing with steel when the coveted
outbreak started
suppliers of these goods temporarily
shut down but demand for them
unexpectedly went up so that caused
shortages and price increases
rare earth metals are needed for
everything from computer wiring and
homes to lithium-ion batteries
and while demand for these items is on
the rise their supply chains are
somewhat unreliable
and it takes a long time to set up new
mining operations
chlorine prices for pool owners are
going up just as people start
diving into the summer swimming season a

tanker trucks and that's happening just
as this summer driving season gets
underway

percent of americans say they're
planning on taking a
trip away from home this summer is going
to be
really a comeback for travel
while the cdc relaxed its travel
guidelines for those who are fully
vaccinated
overseas flights and caribbean cruises

restrictions
that's why experts say prepare for the
summer of the road trip
i've had people call me said i've just
got to get out of the house

gas prices are already going up in part

pete muntean cnn kwiksburg virginia
concluding today's show the rise of
brood 10.
it's not a movement it's not a dj it's a
group of cicadas
also known as the great eastern brood
these insects have been
underground for the last 17 years but in
the biggest emergence of cicadas since
2004 billions of them are about to
surface from tennessee to new york
in the hopes of finding a mate
with a roar to rival a passing jet the
cicadas are on the move
a remarkable bunch called brood 10 and
when the males let loose with their
mating call
that's airplane noise we were in the
center of brood 10.
you wouldn't hear that airplane this
particular strain emerges in the
mid-atlantic and a few midwestern states
living underground on tree roots
counting the seasonal cycles of those
trees
and coming into the light only once
every 17
years to fascinate entomologists in the
right place at the right time
like the smithsonian's floyd shockley
periodical cicada mass emergences are
one of those
once or twice in a lifetime kind of
things i hope people
you know aren't scared but enjoy the
show in busy areas a
million and a half could appear per acre
a trillion in all rising when the soil
temperature reaches
64 degrees are they dangerous no
although they can damage some small
trees where they lay their eggs
are they edible yes oh yeah
that's the sound you want to hear there
are videos online offering
recipes like this one from the tennessee
farm bureau
if you can stomach it do i eat the eyes
too a little crunchy
got a leg stuck between my teeth here if
you spice them right they taste a lot
like shrimp
why are there so many because everything
eats them
cicadas survive only because there are
too many to be devoured entirely
will they be around long no just a few
weeks
but will they bug some people absolutely
so scientists say if you are caught in
this creeping crawling cicada storm
don't think of it as a scary nuisance
but a natural
wonder like the grand canyon or niagara
falls
that's what they say of course there'll
be cicada haters out there they'll be
brooding when the insects start to hiss
but maybe we shouldn't let it bug us
when they begin their hemopter awesome
emergence because
after all there's a kind of sick cadence
to their cicadas
today's shout out takes us to juno don't
you know the capital of alaska is home
to
thunder mountain high school which is an
amazing sounding place
we hope your week is off to a great
start and that you'll join us again
tomorrow
