Hurricanes Take Their Toll on US Jobs

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Harvey and Irma resulted in the first monthly fall in jobs created in the US since 2010. Sameer Samana of Wells Fargo Investment Institute tells us what is going on with the US labour market. Also in the programme, we have a report from China on the burgeoning consumer debt market there, ahead of this month's National People's Congress. As Blade Runner 2049 goes on general release, we find out about the high sums people are willing to pay for film memorabilia. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Henry Curr of The Economist and Swaha Pattarnaik of Breakingviews.com. (Picture: Hurricane damage in the Florida Keys.
