EVERYBODY WAS SEPARATED AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO BE WITH THEM, NOT TO BE ABLE TO GO TO CHURCH.

>> Reporter: FLEMING WHO IS 78 YEARS OLD SAID SOCIAL ISOLATION ULTIMATELY FORCED HER TO GO ONLINE.

THE HEALTH RISK OF THE PANDEMIC MAY HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST CONCERN FOR ISOLATED SENIORS.

THEY WERE AMONG THE PEOPLE MOST LIKELY TO SUFFER HOSPITALIZATION OR DEATH.

AS A RESULT OF THE COVID-19 INFECTION.

MANY OF THEM DID NOT KNOW HOW TO GET THE THINGS THEY NEEDED AS RETAIL STORES AND OTHER SERVICES SHUTDOWN.

>> AND THEN THE PANDEMIC WAS JUST DRAGGING ON AND ON AND IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT.

PEOPLE COULD NOT ACCOMPLISH THE BASIC TASKS.

THE PANDEMIC REQUIRED ADDITIONAL EFFORTS TO REACH PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT DIGITALLY CONNECTED.

>> THE KEY THING WAS CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE WHERE THEY WERE AT.

SO LITERALLY THE OLD-FASHIONED KNOCKING ON DOORS.

CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE OR GOING TO MARKETS.

WERE GOING TO DIFFERENT CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS OR PLACES OF WORSHIP.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO COUNTY TOOK STEPS TO TRY AND CONNECT PEOPLE TO THE INTERNET.

IT CREATED HOW-TO VIDEOS TO TEACH SENIORS HOW TO ORDER GROCERIES ONLINE OR SET UP A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT.

TODAY -- THANKS SAN DIEGO HAS A MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED ELDERLY POPULATION WHEN IT COMES TO TECHNOLOGY.

-- AGREED AND ADDED TODAY'S SOCIAL REALITIES DEMAND ELDERLY PEOPLE WORK TO JOIN THE ONLINE WORLD.

>> THE HUMAN TO HUMAN CONNECTION IS DIMINISHING OVER TIME.

THEY OPENED LAST JULY.

THE 100+ RESTAURANTS PARTICIPATING HOPE THE DEALS WILL DRIVE PEOPLE TO THEIR TABLES.

PRE-FIXED-PRICE MENUS ARE AVAILABLE FOR LUNCH OR DINNER.

LUNCHES ARE TO COURSE MEALS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 10 AND $25 A PERSON.

THREE-COURSE DINNERS WILL COST YOU BETWEEN 20 AND $60.

THE WORST DAYS OF COVID-19 WERE NO INDOOR DINING WAS ALLOWED SEEM TO BE BEHIND US.

RESTAURANTS ARE NOW STRUGGLING WITH SUPPLY-CHAIN ISSUES.

HERE AT TOM HANSON LIGHTHOUSE THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD TO PULL ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR ITEMS OFF THE MENU.

CRAP.

THEY SAID THERE IS NOT MUCH ON THE MARKET AND WHAT THERE IS IS NOT UP TO THE STANDARDS.

AND HE SAID IT IS STILL A CHALLENGE TO GET ENOUGH PEOPLE TO WORK IN RESTAURANTS.

>>> NEW ECONOMIC NUMBERS SHOW A CONTINUED HIRING SURGE DESPITE HIGH PRICES FOR GAS AND RECORD INFLATION.

WE HAVE SOME OF THE TAKEAWAYS IN THE FRIDAY BUSINESS REPORT.

>> Reporter: WE LEARNED THE JOBS MARKET IS STILL VERY HIGH.

THE EMPLOYMENT RATE WENT DOWN.

WE ARE ONE 10th OF A POINT AWAY FROM WHERE WE WERE BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

THE EMPLOYMENT GAMES CAME FROM A COUPLE SECTORS.

THE FIRST ONE WAS LEISURE AND HOSPITALITY.

ABOUT A QUARTER OF ALL THE NEW JOBS WERE IN THAT RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS AND HUNDRED AND 12,000 JOBS.

THAT IS THE ONLY SECTOR BELOW WHERE IT WAS.

WE ARE STILL ABOUT 1,000,000 1/2 BELOW THERE.

WAGE GROWTH WAS BIG IT WAS A STRONG REPORT OVERALL.

WHEN I THINK EMPLOYERS WILL STILL STRUGGLE TO FIND WORKERS BUT AS MORE PEOPLE ENTER THE WORKFORCE ACROSS THE BOARD YOU WILL SEE THE BENEFITS BEING FRAMED ACROSS ALL TYPES OF WORKERS.

>>> AS THE PANDEMIC SUBSIDES MANY FAMILIES FILL THEY ARE IN DIRE NEED OF A VACATION.

JUST AS RESTRICTIONS OR LIFTING TRAVEL PRICES ARE INCREASING.

>> Reporter: FOR FAMILIES WHO HAVE NOT TROUBLED MONTH IN THE LAST 2 TO 3 YEARS THEY ARE DETERMINED TO TAKE A TRIP IN SPITE OF THE STICKER SHOCK.

>> Reporter: HOTEL RATES AVERAGING ABOUT $300 PER NIGHT ARE UP NEARLY $70 SINCE MARCH OF 2019.

EVEN THEME PARKS WILL COST YOU MORE FROM PAID EXPRESS LINES TO PRICE YOUR FOOD.

>> IT IS ADDING UP.

IT'S EXPENSIVE.

THESE BOYS ARE HUNGRY ALL THE TIME.

>> PEOPLE ARE ACCEPTING IT.

MAYBE THEY'RE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS ALONG THE WAY.

>> Reporter: THE CHEAPEST SINGLE DAY DISNEY TICKET STAYED THE SAME PRICE SINCE 2019, THERE ARE NOW FEWER DAYS PRICED AT VALUE SEASON.

MEANWHILE A DISCOUNT CRACKING WEBSITE SHOWS THE MOST EXPENSIVE TYPES OF TICKETS AT DISNEYLAND AND DISNEY WORLD DURING THE BUSIEST SEASON JUMPED 11 OR 12% FROM TWO YEARS AGO.

TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60s.

WE DO WARM-UP A LITTLE BIT TO THE LOW 70s BY TUESDAY AND MAYBE EVEN MAKING A RUN AT THE MID-70s AND WEDNESDAY.

THE OFFSHORE FLOW WILL TRY AND KICK IN AND LIMIT HOW MUCH CLOUD ACTIVITY WE WILL HAVE.
