BBC World Service - In the Balance, Is President Trump Bringing Back Jobs?

How are President Trump's policies affecting employment?

Ed Butler talks to community leaders in different parts of the USA about how President Trump's policies are affecting jobs and workers.

On In the Balance we ask how President Trump's policies are affecting jobs and workers. Ed Butler hears from mayors and economic specialists from across the USA, to get a snapshot of how the economy is faring under the new administration - from the coal industry to car manufacturing. The Mayor of Santa Fe in New Mexico - which is home to a large number of Latino immigrants - explains how tighter policies are spreading fear across the immigrant community. And Colm O' Regan reflects on how President Trump's election has complicated his own job - as a stand-up comedian.
