World Business Report

Available for over a year

Jobs growth in the US recovers after striking workers return to Hollywood and the car industry. Employers added 199,000 jobs in November. It helped to push down the jobless rate to 3.7% - the lowest level since July. The monthly report is being closely watched as the US central bank tries to cool the economy and reduce inflation.
