Breaking: US Non-farm Payrolls rise by 428K in April, versus forecasted 391K gain
The US economy added 428,000 jobs in April, according to the latest Non-farm Payrolls report released by the US Bureau of Labour Statistics on Friday. That was a little above the median economist forecast for a gain of 391,000 jobs, and exactly in line with pace of jobs gains in March (which was revised lower to 428,000 from 431,000).
