April Jobs Report


Job growth continued to slow in April to a disappointing 115,000 jobs added. There is some not bad news: more jobs were added in February and March than originally reported (red line on the graph). Though that isn't all that significant.

The unemployment rate dropped 0.1%, which was due mostly to the fact that around 340,000 people dropped out of the job market.
