2 National Employment Numbers 160,000: U.S. employers added a seasonally adjusted 160,000 jobs in April, falling well short of the 205,000 forecast by economists. Monthly employment growth has averaged 192,000 in the first four months of the year, a slowdown from the 229,000 average in %: The unemployment rate stayed at 5% in April, meaning that nearly 8 million Americans who were looking for work couldn t find a job last month. That s half of its 2009 peak of 10%. In March, Federal Reserve officials projected the unemployment rate would fall to 4.7% by the end of this year, and drop to 4.6% in %: Another gauge of slack in the labor market is the broader measure of unemployment that includes workers stuck in part- time jobs or too discouraged to search for work.

That brings April s average hourly earnings up 2.5% from April The average workweek rose 0.1 hours to 34.5 hours last month. Some economists are concerned that as wages rise, falling corporate profits will make it harder for firms to keep adding workers. 19,000: Both March and February s job gains were revised downward, resulting in 19,000 fewer jobs added than had been previously reported.
