The US economy continued to steadily add jobs in April, although the growth rate slightly slowed. In April, 177,000 new jobs were created, higher than expected but lower than the previous month. Layoffs by the federal government led to a decline in employment numbers, and economists say to prepare for weak job growth and a slowdown in hiring.

On May 2, the U.S. economy continued to steadily rise in job creation in April, although the pace of employment growth slowed slightly during a month marked by changes in tariff announcements and market turbulence. The U.S. Department of Labor reported on Friday that the U.S. added 177,000 jobs in April, exceeding expectations of 130,000, but down from an increase of 185,000 in March. Federal government layoffs weighed on employment numbers, with federal employment decreasing by 9,000 in April. James Knightley, an economist at ING Financial Markets, stated that there is still a long preparation time to see mass layoffs occur, but we will have to prepare for significantly weak employment numbers and face the threat of a substantial slowdown in hiring.
