Hiring jumped at the beginning of the year as U.S. employers added 225,000 jobs
Still, hourly pay is up just 3.1% from a year earlier, below a peak of 3.5% reached last fall.
On Friday, the government also issued its annual revisions of estimated job growth. The revisions showed that hiring was slower in 2018 and early last year than previously estimated. Employers added 2.3 million jobs in 2018, down from a previous estimate of 2.7 million. One Boeing supplier, Spirit Aerosystems, has said it will cut 2,800 jobs. Those layoffs occurred after the government's survey for last month.
