Hiring Rebounds As US Employers Add A Solid 196,000 Jobs

WASHINGTON — Hiring rebounded in March as U.S. employers added a solid 196,000 jobs, up sharply from February’s scant gain and evidence that many businesses still want to hire despite signs that the economy is slowing.

The unemployment rate remained at 3.8%, near the lowest level in almost 50 years, the Labor Department reported Friday. Wage growth slowed a bit in March, with average hourly pay increasing 3.2% from a year earlier. That was down from February’s year-over-year gain of 3.4%, which was the best in a decade.

The figures reported Friday suggest that February’s anemic job growth — revised to 33,000, from an initial 20,000 — was a temporary blip and that businesses are confident the economy remains on a firm footing. Even with the current expansion nearly 10 years old, the U.S. economy is showing resilience.

Nice work, Mr. President. Thank you!

That 3.8 percent unemployment number is just made up by BLS

The actual number of people not working is over 50 percent

Ask Trump what he thinks of U3 unemployment. All fake

LFF expanding and the knock on effects of the bureaucracy getting their paychecks again should go higher until @ May 1st when taking off to go to the beach or mouse kingdom cuts down on GDP growth.
