Hiring Growth Slows With Economy Adding 236k Jobs in March
With 236 000 work in March, employment growth is slow.
The economy added 236,000 jobs in March, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday, a slight slowdown from the strong gains of recent months that indicates the labor market might be slowing in response to the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes but remains robust.

The central banks may conclude that the workers market no longer threatens to pull up prices as a result of March’s slowdown’s in work development and wage growth, which could affect the market toward an even more dovish monetary stance.
According to Mark Hamrick, senior financial analyst at Bankrate,” The March use statement shows some vapor is coming out of the job market, but it isn’t falling off of bed.” Payroll growing was partly consistent with expectations and significantly slower than it had been over the previous two months.
The Fed wants to reduce prices without sending the nation into a recession, which is thought to be challenging. However, Friday’s story is encouraging in that it demonstrates that employment growth is occurring steadily without an increase in unemployment.
In actuality, poverty rates are close to their lowest point since the 1960s. Black workers’ unemployment decreased to 5 %, the lowest rate ever.
Additionally, the population’s overall’s employment rate for workers in their prime working years, defined as those between the ages of 25 and 54, increased to 80.7 %. This is the highest such rate since 2001, indicating that this group has more than made up for its pandemic-related losses.
The reading comes after several months of robust and outperforming job gains, which President Joe Biden has emphasized as important macroeconomic indicators especially as historical inflation severely reduces the incomes of people across the nation. The poverty rate has actually dropped to its lowest level since 1969 in January, demonstrating incredibly resilience in recent job reports.
However, this most recent statement cuts into that story and incites concerns that a crisis is imminent.
