In March, employment growth was stronger than expected, which was at least temporarily insured that the labor market is stable, the Ministry of Labor reported on Friday.
Non -agricultural salary statements rose by 228,000 of the revised 117,000 in February and better than the estimate by Dow Jones for 140,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
However, the unemployment rate rose to 4.2% and higher than the forecast of 4.1%, since the employment rate rate also increased.
Although the headline estimates are estimated by the headline, the report comes against an extremely uncertain background after President Donald Trump's tariff announcement has increased the fears of a global trade war this week that could damage economic growth.
Shares responded little to the report, although the futures with the Dow Jones Industrial Average was still completed by more than 1,000 points, while the returns of the Ministry of Finance were very negative.
“Today's better than expected job report will help to make the fears of immediate softening on the US labor market easier,” said Lindsay Rosner, head of the multi-sector festival income, which is investing in Goldman Sachs Asset Management. “However, this number has become a side dish in which the market only focuses on the starters: tariffs.”
Trump announced a flat obligation of 10% to all trading partners, together with a wide menu of so -called mutual tariffs, which have already provoked retaliation from China and others. The Wall Street has been in aggressive sales mode in the last two days, with shares storming and investors flowing to the safety of fixed income.
Earlier indicators showed that the labor market was held, but the tariff movements increase the possibility that companies will hold the attitude back because they assess exactly what the new commercial landscape will look like.
However, the figures from March pointed out to a still strong job market, although the counts in January and February recorded considerable downward revision. In addition to the reduction of 34,000 from the first count for February, growth in January is only 111,000 to attribute 14,000 to the previous estimate.
For March, health care was the leading growth area in line with the previous months. The industry added 54,000 jobs, almost exactly in line with its 12-month average. The other growth areas included social assistance and retail, both of which added 24,000, during transport and storage showed an increase of 23,000.
The positions of the federal government went back to 4,000, despite the Elon Musk's efforts, although the Department of Government Efficiency, only decreased to capture the federal employee. However, the BLS found that workers are counted as busy by compensation or paid vacation. In a report on Thursday by the consulting company Challenger, Gray & Christmas, it was shown that Doge's layoffs have so far been more than 275,000.
