Need some extra cash this holiday season? Macy's is adding 7,000 new seasonal jobs this year, along with other retailers such as JCPenney and Old Navy. Lisa Rowan, Writer at The Penny Hoarder, joins Cheddar to break down how much money you can make with one of these part-time jobs.
Each of these seasonal jobs pays around $10-$12 and have pretty flexible hours. They also will employ you until the middle of January, which may help you recuperate the funds spent on gifts.
When it comes to joining in on the gig economy, Rowan says it may be a little harder to make fast cash. A lot of apps like TaskRabbit give each user a rating and allow people to leave reviews. So, if you don't have stellar reviews, the chances of people hiring you are slim. She suggests you get on those apps fast and try to build up loyal customers before the end of the year.

A big-screen adaptation of the anime “Chainsaw Man” has topped the North American box office, beating a Springsteen biopic and “Black Phone 2.” The movie earned $17.25 million in the U.S. and Canada this weekend. “Black Phone 2” fell to second place with $13 million. Two new releases, the rom-com “Regretting You” and “Springsteen — Deliver Me From Nowhere,” earned $12.85 million and $9.1 million, respectively. “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc” is based on the manga series about a demon hunter. It's another win for Sony-owned Crunchyroll, which also released a “Demon Slayer” film last month that debuted to a record $70 million.
The Federal Aviation Administration says flights departing for Los Angeles International Airport were halted briefly due to a staffing shortage at a Southern California air traffic facility. The FAA issued a temporary ground stop at one of the world’s busiest airports on Sunday morning soon after U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy predicted that travelers would see more flights delayed as the nation’s air traffic controllers work without pay during the federal government shutdown. The hold on planes taking off for LAX lasted an hour and 45 minutes and didn't appear to cause continued problems. The FAA said staffing shortages also delayed planes headed to Washington, Chicago and Newark, New Jersey on Sunday.
