Hi Jerry,..Re:.April Employment Report The numbers of concern, average hourly earnings, were great! New Jobs for April = +234k Unemployment rate = 4.3% Average hourly earnings = +0.2%, 3.2% YoY stats.bls.gov:80/news.release/empsit.nws.htm Payroll employment rose in April, and the unemployment rate was essentially unchanged at 4.3 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Nonfarm payroll employment grew by 234,000. Job gains occurred throughout the service-producing sector, but losses continued in manufacturing and mining. Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 3 cents in April to $13.11, seasonally adjusted.
