Another Scorcher: 303,000 Jobs Added To U.S. Economy in MarchJohn Carney 5 Apr 2024
Employers in the United States added 303,000 workers to their payrolls in March, the Department of Labor said Friday.
The unemployment rate ticked down to 3.8 percent from 3.9 percent in the prior month.
Economists had forecast payrolls would grow by 200,000 and the unemployment rate would hold steady at the prior month’s 3.9 percent.
Last month, the government reported that the economy added 275,000 jobs in February, beating expectations by around 75,000, and 229,000 in January.
The January figure was revised up by 27,000 to 256,000, and the February estimate was revised down by 5,000 to 270,000. After those revisions, employment was 22,000 higher than previously reported.
After the revisions and the March numbers, the three-month moving average moved up from 265,000 to 276,000.
