US jobs dip: Why is it getting harder to hire?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

With just 57,000 posts created in June, half the number expected, the US jobs market is showing signs of cooling. We talk to a restaurant owner about why it's getting harder to hire. And the latest on the computer gremlins causing chaos at European airports. We hear from the family of a businessman delayed by 12 hours and a travel expert: Are glitches in the new EU-wide border control system going to spell a summer of misery for non-European travellers? Also, if you were to hold your wedding in Madison Square Garden, how much would it set you back? We investigate. Photo by JIM LO SCALZO/EPA-EFE/REX/Shutterstock
