JUST IN: The US economy gained 236,000 jobs in March. That’s very solid but slowing from 472,000 in January.

Unemployment rate: 3.5%

Wage growth: +4.2% --> down from 4.6% in Feb.

quote:

Good news: The labor force participation rate rose to 62.6% in March 2023.

That's the highest rate since pre-pandemic.

A sign that more people are going back to work and looking for work again.

quote:

We're starting to see 2 economies for jobs: Still hiring in restaurants/health/gov but not in retail/real estate

Hospitality: +72,000
Gov't +47,000
Biz: +39,000
Healthcare +34,000
Social aid +17,000

Retail -14,600
Warehousing -11,800
Construction -9,000
Real estate/leasing -7,200
Manufacturing -1,000

Huge surge in the labor force participation rate

+480,000 people entering in March
Labor force participation up to 62.6% (highest since 63.3% pre-pandemic in Feb 2020).

The biggest two gains are in hospitality, low wage, low skill work.

And then the government. Where useless losers with no marketable skills go to steal tax money from people with actual marketable skills.

Job gains need to slow so we can start to lower inflation.
