Will coronavirus take away our jobs?
At first coronavirus was just a health story, but now it’s pretty clear employment and the economy are taking a massive hit.
Travel bans have led to airlines cutting jobs and the hospitality sector is in trouble as people stay at home.
In this episode we ask what will happen to workers. It’s a global problem so we speak to Harriet and Ray, a freelance couple in New York, as well as documentary director Emily in London.
We also speak to Chris Giles, Economics Editor at the Financial Times, about some of the things being done elsewhere to help people who lose work because of the virus.
Presenter: Matthew Price
Producers: Duncan Barber and Philly Beaumont
Mixed by Emma Crowe
Editor: Philly Beaumont
