The U.S. added 431,000 jobs and the unemployment rate dropped to 3.6 percent in March, according to data released Friday by the Labor Department.

Job growth fell slightly short of expectations, as consensus estimates from economists projected a gain of roughly 490,000 jobs in March and a decline in the jobless rate to 3.7 percent.

A mere 500,000+ per MONTH. Come on in. We got plenty of room and unlimited money apparently.

I see the democrap propaganda liars at BLS are at it again. These are the same people who said under Obama that 7 million more unemployed people meant unemployment went down.

I am part of that number as of this Monday. Had 2 job offers. 👍

Exactly!

Well, to be fair, they did change the rules and stopped counting them after a period of time so the number did go down ;o)

But that's 3 Million fewer than pre-Covid levels.

And there are still 11 Million out of the workforce, so please spare the lipstick.
