Trellus Same-Day Local Delivery & Marketplace was spotlighted in a CBS 2 New York segment on jobs numbers, in context of the local economy. The video featured commentary from Trellus co-founder and CEO Adam Haber, and JR Jensen, co-founder and CTO, also made a special cameo as a Trellus same-day delivery driver!

The local economy and jobs segment video was reposted online with a brief introduction. Part of the transcript is below:

MAURICE DuBOIS and ALICE GAINER, CBS 2 New York anchors:
As vaccination efforts ramped up in February, so too did job numbers across the country. It’s a sign the labor market is recovering one year into the pandemic. So who exactly is hiring? CBS’s Carolyn Gusoff reports from Long Island.

CAROLYN GUSOFF, CBS reporter:
There’s a sweet spot in the pandemic for chocolates, selling so well at COCO Confections in Sea Cliff, they’re hiring.

TERRENCE KENNIFF, COCO Confections and Coffee: 
Valentine’s Day was great and Easter starts next. Thankfully, it’s looking like we’re going to need some help here.

GUSOFF:
So is the new same-day local delivery service just for small businesses. Trellus is hiring.

ADAM HABER, Trellus CEO and Co-founder:
Our goal is to drive more business to small businesses so they hire, we hire, and the loop continues endlessly, and Long Island grows.

Adam Haber, Trellus CEO and co-founder, talks to CBS 2 New York at COCO Confections and Coffee in Sea Cliff.

GUSOFF:
In fact, America is hiring in numbers not seen in months. The U.S. Labor Department jobs report showed a surprisingly robust 379,000 jobs added in February, the most since October. The economy strengthening, but still just a fraction of the 10 million jobs lost to the pandemic.

Dr. MARTIN CANTOR, Economist:
The jobs just evaporated. And those are unlikely to come back primarily because, as the Federal Reserve said, they expect 30% of businesses not to reopen.
