US unemployment rate holds steady in April

BBC World Service - World Business Report, US unemployment rate holds steady in April

It remained at 3.6% as 428,000 jobs were added to the economy.

The BBC's Michelle Fleury joins us to explain the latest US unemployment figures. Also in the programme, 2000 trade unions in Sri Lanka have participated in a nation-wide strike, with employees calling in sick and out on the streets across the country. Our reporter Archana Shukla gives us the latest from Colombo. And Martyn Williams has a report about the English film enthusiasts who are working to bring back 35mm projectors.
