US GDP grows, rental market struggles

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

US GDP grew at an overall rate of 3.3% well above the 2% that was predicted but we hear how some people are struggling to pay rent. We also find out what is going on in the gaming world as Microsoft is slashing 8% of its workforce in their gaming division. Pursuing the theme of ageism in the workplace, we're asking how far you'd go to look younger to clinch a new job opportunity. Ed Butler discusses this and more business news with two guests on opposite sides of the world: Diane Brady in the US and Yoko Ishikura in Japan.
