Slowing US jobs growth, and corruption in India

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Yet another increase in employment in the world's biggest economy, but by far less than many thought. So will slowing jobs growth in the US mean a delay to the planned slowdown in quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve? World Business Report's Mark Whitaker is in Bangalore, India, throughout the programme, uncovering just how big a problem corruption is in the country. Just ahead of the revealing of the host city for the 2020 Olympics - we ask whether it's something you should really WANT to stage. We take a trip to a food factory in the US midwest with our sister station, Marketplace, and we reflect on the career of acclaimed and Oscar-winning Japanese animation director, Hayao Miyazaki, who's just announced his retirement.
