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?

  • More jobs in the US, but fewer waiters.

  • People are frustrated and left the labour market.

  • They should come back in because there are jobs everywhere.

  • Our restaurant has been down about 10% to 13% in general dining sales.

  • It's World Business Report from the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Vishala Sripathma.

  • On the way, encouraging news about employment in the US, but does it mean rates won't go up?

  • And OpenAI reportedly are offering up a stake of its business to Trump's White House.

  • Plus, it's the wedding of the year, and at an estimated $20 billion bill, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey mean business.

  • So the latest US jobs numbers have landed and some say they're a little underwhelming.

  • The economy added just 57,000 jobs in June, which missed expectations.

  • But the unemployment rate did edge down to 4.2%, offering a small but significant silver lining.

  • So despite the figures...

  • The director of the White House's National Economic Council, Kevin Hassett,

  • says there are plenty of job opportunities around the country.

  • The thing is that if you look at the JOLTS data where they tell you job openings,

  • there are millions and millions of job openings.

  • And so if people are frustrated, they got frustrated maybe because of Joe Biden's economy and left the labour market,

  • they should come back in because there are jobs everywhere.

  • So why does this all matter?
