Establishment Survey Data

Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 303,000 in March, higher than the average monthly
gain of 231,000 over the prior 12 months. In March, job gains occurred in health care,
government, and construction. (See table B-1.)

Health care added 72,000 jobs in March, above the average monthly gain of 60,000 over the
prior 12 months. In March, job growth continued in ambulatory health care services (+28,000),
hospitals (+27,000), and nursing and residential care facilities (+18,000).

In March, employment in government increased by 71,000, higher than the average monthly gain
of 54,000 over the prior 12 months. Over the month, employment increased in local government
(+49,000) and federal government (+9,000).

Construction added 39,000 jobs in March, about double the average monthly gain of 19,000 over
the prior 12 months. Over the month, employment increased in nonresidential specialty trade
contractors (+16,000).

Employment in leisure and hospitality trended up in March (+49,000) and has returned to its
pre-pandemic February 2020 level. Over the prior 12 months, job growth in the industry had
averaged 37,000 per month.

Employment in the other services industry continued its upward trend in March (+16,000). The
industry had added an average of 8,000 jobs per month over the prior 12 months. Employment
in other services remains below its February 2020 level by 40,000, or 0.7 percent.

Employment in social assistance continued to trend up in March (+9,000), below the average
monthly gain of 22,000 over the prior 12 months.

In March, employment was little changed in retail trade (+18,000). A job gain in general
merchandise retailers (+20,000) was partially offset by job losses in building material and
garden equipment and supplies dealers (-10,000) and in automotive parts, accessories, and tire
retailers (-3,000).

Employment showed little or no change over the month in other major industries, including
mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction; manufacturing; wholesale trade; transportation
and warehousing; information; financial activities; and professional and business services.

In March, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls increased by
12 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $34.69. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have
increased by 4.1 percent. In March, average hourly earnings of private-sector production and
nonsupervisory employees edged up by 7 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $29.79. (See tables B-3 and
B-8.)

In March, the average workweek for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls edged up by 0.1
hour to 34.4 hours. In manufacturing, the average workweek was unchanged at 40.0 hours, and
overtime edged down by 0.1 hour to 2.9 hours in March. The average workweek for production and
nonsupervisory employees on private nonfarm payrolls edged up by 0.1 hour to 33.9 hours. (See
tables B-2 and B-7.)

The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for January was revised up by 27,000, from
+229,000 to +256,000, and the change for February was revised down by 5,000, from +275,000 to
+270,000. With these revisions, employment in January and February combined is 22,000 higher
than previously reported. (Monthly revisions result from additional reports received from
businesses and government agencies since the last published estimates and from the
recalculation of seasonal factors.)

On a year-over-year (YoY) basis, inflation rose by a stronger-than-expected 3.5% in March, an uptick from the 3.2% YoY rise in February.
The YoY uptick, coupled with March's strong employment report, suggests the path to the Fed's 2% inflation target could take longer than expected

Mortgage rates rise after disappointing March inflation report
Mortgage rates drifted higher this week, and could increase further, in a sign that America’s affordability crisis isn’t letting up.
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.88% in the week ending April 11, up from 6.82% the previous week, according to Freddie Mac data released Thursday.
A year ago, the average 30-year fixed rate was 6.27%.

Stock Market News: Dow, S&P 500 Drop

Stock Market Headed for Its Worst Week of the Year
By Connor Smith
The stock market was on track to close out its worst week of the year on Friday after bank earnings failed to impress Wall Street and worries increased over escalating conflict in the Middle East.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 471 points, or 1.2%.
The S&P 500 was down 1.4%. The Nasdaq Composite was down 1.6%.

US stocks plummeted on Wednesday as markets took in a hotter-than-expected inflation report and the latest Federal Reserve meeting minutes, causing traders to push back on their expectations for Fed rate cuts this year.
All three benchmark indexes ended the trading session lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average sliding over 400 points. Bond yields soared, with the 10-year US Treasury spiking 18 basis points to 4.546%.
Inflation rose 3.5% on an annual basis in March, slightly hotter than the 3.4% increase economists were expecting. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, grew 3.8% year-per-year, hotter than the expected 3.7% increase.
Inflation has come in higher than expected for the past three months, which has undercut investors' expectations for Fed rate cuts this year. Odds of a June rate cut have fallen to 16%, according to the CME FedWatch tool, down from 56% odds priced in on Tuesday.
Bank of America maintained its outlook for a June rate cut but said it had "low confidence," given the latest CPI data. Barclays revised its outlook to just one 25 basis-point rate cut later this year, down from its initial forecast of one rate cut every other month. Goldman Sachs said it was adjusting its view to two cuts from three, as insurance costs keep inflation running hot.
"The Federal Reserve will have to wait even longer for evidence confirming that gains in fighting price pressures are durable before it turns accommodative," José Torres, a senior economist at Interactive Brokers, said in a statement. "Today's report reflects that progress on inflation has reversed, with goods and commodities turning from a disinflationary friend to an inflationary foe."
As of last month's policy meeting, Fed officials were still projecting three rate cuts to come in 2024. But newly released minutes of the Fed's March policy meeting show that central bankers remain cautious on the recent uptrend in inflation.

Officials commented on "disappointing" inflation readings over the past several months, adding they "did not expect it would be appropriate" to lower rates until there was greater confidence inflation was back on track to reach 2%, the minutes said.
"The Fed always puts more weight on backward-looking data, and this Fed, in particular, is still scarred by the 'transitory' inflation fiasco," Ian Shepherdson, the chief economist of Pantheon Macroeconomics said in a note on Wednesday.
"The risk that the Fed waits too long and moves too slowly is rising."

Unlike you, I would not accept.
("lies from you handlers".)
Are you competing with Biden for gibberish speak?
The real agency you use is the government, of course, they or you never lie.
Government's biggest lie.

Are Democrats destroying the economy? Hmmm, record employment doesn’t seem destructive. When Trump left office there were 170,000 fewer manufacturing jobs than when he entered The White House. Over 800,000 manufacturing jobs have been created under Biden’s leadership. That doesn’t seem like a disaster.

You could point at the border and call that a disaster. Okay, but the mess at the border was decades in the making. In 2013 the Senate passed a bipartisan immigration reform bill. The Republican led House refused to even bring the bill to the floor. Under Trump Republicans had four years to pass an immigration reform bill and they didn’t do it. The immigration laws we have today were passed by politicians beholden to The Donor Class which wanted cheap labor. Anger toward immigrants is misdirected, you should direct your anger toward fat cat donors and the politicians that serviced the interests of those donors.

Mad about inflation? Yeah sure, but remember the current rise in inflation is a worldwide event and the US is doing much better than the vast majority of other countries. The average inflation rate internationally is 6.5%. The current US inflation rate is 3.2%. It appears that the Democrat’s Inflation Reduction Act is working. Doesn’t sound like destruction to me.

I could go on, but the point is that simply saying that Democrats are destroying the country is just bumpersticker bullshit. Give me specifics, give me evidence to back up your assertion. Oh, I forgot, Republicans don’t really deal with evidence, they’re more into feelings.

Record unemployment is a lie.

We don't have to have high inflation just because the rest of the world has it.

Biden destroyed border security, no matter how you spin it. Period. You might as well claim the Easter Bunny is real.

And this is just for starters.

Your belief in the jobs numbers is blind belief in lies.

“Fewer Americans have full-time jobs, and more of those with full-time jobs are also working part-time jobs to make ends meet,” Lobue wrote.

Indeed, citing data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Lobue found that the economy actually shed 6,000 full-time jobs”in March.

Incredibly, 75 percent of those 303,000 new jobs actually qualified as second jobs.

Thus, according to Lobue, “Democrats’ ‘good news’ is just you having to work longer and harder to survive.”

For that, of course, we may thank several years of runaway inflation.

Furthermore, government jobs make up nearly 25 percent of the total jobs added in March.

If you searched for the truth, you would find out that your facts aren't real. With this tight job market, you expect me to believe that people aren't getting full time jobs? Just look at the help wanted signs on nearly every store.
