US employers added a surprisingly strong 178,000 jobs last month
"American employers added a surprisingly strong 178,000 new jobs last month, rebounding from a dismal February. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.3%, down from 4.4% in February."
"Health care companies added 76,400 jobs last month, boosted by the return of 31,000 Kaiser Permanente employees to work after the end of a strike in February."
"The U.S. job market has been in a slump over the past year. Most economists say the impact of the war and higher energy prices was probably not fully reflected in the March jobs numbers."
In March, American employers added 178,000 jobs, a notable recovery from the loss of 133,000 jobs in February. The unemployment rate decreased to 4.3%, partly due to a drop in the labor force by 396,000. Health care saw significant job gains, while factories continued to struggle. Average hourly wages increased by 0.2% from February, with a year-over-year rise of 3.5%. However, uncertainties related to the war with Iran and energy prices may affect future labor market conditions.
