BBC World Service - Business Matters, Microsoft job cuts: an end to a pandemic boom?

Microsoft becomes the latest tech giant to cut part of it's workforce

CEO says Microsoft will continue to hire in key strategic areas.

One of the world's biggest tech companies Microsoft joined a list of others who have announced plans to shed part of its total work force. 

It is also a tricky time for workers over 45 who no longer find it easy to get jobs.

In France, a widespread disruption is expected today as nationwide strikes take place in response to the government’s planned major reform to France’s pension system.
