  • A report from the Labor Department this morning shows a jump in hiring last month.

  • And PR Scott Horsley reports U.S.

  • employers added 228,000 jobs in March.

  • The pace of hiring last month was stronger than the month before and stronger than forecasters had expected.

  • Jobs were added in healthcare and hospitality.

  • Thousands of retail workers also returned to the job after a strike.

  • Meanwhile, the federal government cut about 4,000 jobs in March,

  • according to the official tally, in addition to 11,000 jobs eliminated the month before.

  • The numbers are based on a survey conducted in the middle of each month.

  • Overall, federal layoffs are significantly larger.

  • Average wages in March were up 3.8% from a year ago,

  • which is likely more than enough to outpace inflation.

  • The unemployment rate inched up to 4.2%, as 232,000 people joined or rejoined the workforce.
