US employment growth slightly slows down in April but remains steady

According to BlockBeats, on May 2nd, the US economy continued to steadily increase employment in April, despite a slight slowdown in job growth during a month of changes in tariff announcements and market turbulence. The US Department of Labor reported on Friday that the US added 177000 jobs in April, higher than the expected 130000 and lower than the 185000 increase in March. The federal government's layoffs have dragged down employment, with a decrease of 9000 jobs in April. James Knightley, a financial market economist at Dutch International Group, said that there is still a long preparation time to see widespread layoffs, but we will have to prepare for a significant decline in employment numbers and face the threat of a significant slowdown in recruitment.
