US April jobs report shows 115,000 payroll gain
U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased by 115,000 in April, while the unemployment rate held at 4.3 percent. March payrolls were revised up to 185,000 and average hourly earnings rose 3.6 percent year over year, up from 3.4 percent in March. Healthcare, transportation and warehousing, and retail contributed the largest job gains, while federal government employment declined and both the employment level and labor force participation dipped slightly. The data indicate a still-resilient labor market despite cooling growth, a pattern that could factor into Federal Reserve interest rate decisions.
Fox Business on the new jobs report: "Definitely good headline numbers, but it looks like the employment level is down about 226,000. In other words, the number of people actually working -- looks like fewer people are participating in the labor market for the month."
LR91So. Definitely NOT GOOD NUMBERS. These people are so full of shit.
Middlerage59Participating???? Hilarious. THERE ARE NO JOBS!
grant40"These good numbers are actually really bad."
Rich Burroughs24Ummm is that not a headline number for a jobs report, the number of people who have jobs? I am just a small town bird lawyer.
Nothing special24Can’t really polish that turd
Gerald Glenn Saenz 🇺🇦19Participating? Yes. And I have also decided to participate in feeding and housing myself.
knightsmom.bsky.social18Can we trust that their numbers are accurate? Call me crazy but I’m skeptical of any data this admin releases.
Brian 3214So for some reason people are accepting these numbers as honest from the most dishonest administration in history?
Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot13The real numbers are much worse.
Dawn Humphrey12When the truth slips out...
mmichaelmm.bsky.social10Fewer people are participating? Did they have a choice?
Nancy Ann ❌👑 👍🏻🐸10“Participating in the labor market” translation: lost their jobs.
Blue Kentucky Gal8"Definitely good headline numbers, BUT..." These people don't realize words have actual meanings. Reminds me of putting lipstick on a pig.
happilyblue1031.bsky.social8Just saying unemployment is up.
Shy Ty🌎☮️7"The numbers are good, except for the part with the numbers." They twist their tongues into knots trying to spin this shit economy.
elcanaco.bsky.social7Note: a significant % of people watch with the volume on mute. The headlines shown on the screen are what people consume. So, the "115k jobs added" (when the actual number is 226k loss) shown by Fox is evidence of why their broadcast licence should be suspended whenever Democrats reform government.
Luigi -the Pizza Prime Minister6The Trump Regime keeps losing jobs
Now Tense6I remember when Obama would post 115,000 jobs and the sentiment was, it's not keeping up with the people entering the workforce. Today, it's amazing numbers because it beat the low expectations.
Cindi Lew Hoo 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇺🇦5Never trust the headline numbers without checking with the experts...
realsandy4Participating in the labor market. 🙄 I wish she wasn't.
I seem to recall people losing their jobs at the Bureau of Labor statistics. There was lots of hand wringing about trusting these stats going forward. Did I dream all that? Anyways, “Definitely good headline numbers…”
Michael Citro4That is definitely one way to say unemployment is up and more people are out of work. Not the clearest way, but it's a way.
yovino.bsky.social4And of course, while he’s giving the Fox morons some sobering numbers, they take him off camera and show the rising stock prices, which don’t benefit most of the population. Certainly not the crowd that watches Fox. And, as always, the stock market is not the economy. The manipulation is incredible.
Courtney 🦊4Fewer people are participating?!? wtf kind of line is that? You mean there are 226,000 less jobs available for people to participate in the workforce? 🫠
autumnsky14.bsky.social3I do not believe anything this administration says. The job market is horrible I know because I’ve been looking for work the last six months. I’m on social security and looking for work just so I can live it’s hard. So just think about those who are not collecting unemployment they will not be
klb725.bsky.social3funny how they frame it in a way where its the workers fault.
julesp1.bsky.social3Like working is optional? Ha

MAGA is applauding the April jobs report without mentioning that February was revised down. Again. The initial report said a loss of 92,000 jobs. Feb. was revised down by 41,000 to -133,000 in April. And it was just revised down AGAIN by another 23,000 jobs today. 156k jobs lost in February. 🤦♀️
Paul A.6It's difficult to trust any numbers the government puts out. Even the number of eggs in a dozen.
Boulder Voter Rob3They lie about the numbers on page one, then revise the numbers on page 12. Every jobs report or financial report they say is good gets revised a month or two later proving it was bad all along.
Breaking News: The U.S. added 115,000 jobs in April and the unemployment rate stayed at 4.3%, a solid reading for the labor market.
Bryan Burtner21At some point it becomes journalistic malpractice to report these numbers without acknowledging that almost every jobs report in recent history has been revised down substantially.
The Best Posts, Maybe, That Anyone's Ever Seen, Ever11Uh huh. I heard gas prices are coming down too.
fr0sted.bsky.social6I don't believe this at all. Look at the purchasing and debt data.
staatenlos.bsky.social5Until it is revised in two months, sure.
Okhomegrown4More jobs that don’t pay enough to live.
