Nonfarm payrolls rose by a seasonally adjusted 115,000 in April, down from the 185,000 created in an unusually strong March, but better than the 55,000 forecast. The unemployment rate held at 4.3%, further proof that the labor market has reached a point where only modest job creation is needed to keep the jobless level steady. Following recent trends, healthcare led with 37,000 new positions, though multiple other sectors also saw gains.
