US unemployment at two year low

BBC World Service - World Business Report, US unemployment at two year low

More than 430,000 new jobs were created during March in the US.

The US economy is 'on the move' says Biden after another set of positive jobs numbers.

US unemployment is at a two year low of 3.6% ; we get analysis from Chris Low of FHN Financial. Also in the programme, the conflict in Ukraine has highlighted Europe's dependence on Russian energy. And Russia has now threatened to cut off gas supplies to what it calls "unfriendly countries", unless they pay in Russian roubles. We get reaction to that threat from Anna Moskwa, Poland’s minister for climate and environment. This Sunday, Hungarians will choose a new government, and they face the choice of a further term for Viktor Orban and his controversial Fidesz party, or a single unified opposition candidate, Peter Marki-Zay. Marton Gergely is editor of the independent news outlet HVG, and tells us what role the war in neighbouring Ukraine is playing in the national debate. Plus, Over the last of couple years, more US federal money has flowed into Native American communities than possibly ever before; Savannah Maher from our US partner programme Marketplace has been taking a look at how that money is being put to use.
