Update: US Jobs stimulus talks break down

Hiring in the US slowed sharply in July amid the coronavirus pandemic

On today’s programme we take a look at the US jobs market, as the latest monthly figures are published, and New York Times reporter Emily Badger explains why the end of the federal enhanced unemployment benefit system disproportionately hits black Americans. We’ll also wrap up the week on the US markets with Joe Saluzzi of Themis Trading in New Jersey. And we'll hear from our sister programme Marketplace about how the coronavirus pandemic is shifting attitudes towards service robots.
