America's employers added 428,000 jobs in April, the same as in March
New York The days of millions of monthly job gains are behind us: America's employers added 428,000 jobs in April, the same as in March, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.
Although that was more than the 391,000 that economists had predicted, the slowdown in job growth is no surprise. It is partly due to the fact that the recovery has come a long way and was bound to slow down at some point. It's also partly due to the worker shortage that makes finding workers to hire more difficult. Last month, most positions were added in the leisure and hospitality industry. Manufacturing, and transportation and warehousing also added a significant number of jobs.
