BBC World Service - World Business Report, US jobs report misses expectations

We hear the effect on the US stock markets of the latest US employment figures

The BBC's Samira Hussain tells us about the latest US employment figures, which missed expectations - and Chris Low from FHN Financial tells us how the damp figures effected the stock markets. Mike Johnson reports on what's been described as the Great Resignation, where people are quitting their jobs in record numbers, and asks whether it is a permanent change in how we think about work. We hear from the CEO of Visa about how the pandemic has accelerated our move away from cash. Plus, a new $6bn high speed rail link has opened between China and the capital of Laos, Vientiane. Ruth Banomyong is professor of logistics at Thammasat Business School in Bangkok, and discusses the implications.

Hosted by Vivienne Nunis and produced by Faarea Masud.
