Jobs Growth Slows, But No Panic Yet

April’s jobs report is out and it’s a mixed bag: hiring slowed down a bit (177k new jobs vs. 228k in March), but it’s still better than expected. Unemployment’s holding steady at 4.2%. Wages are barely moving, and manufacturing actually lost jobs, but healthcare and education are still strong. The feds cut some jobs, but state and local governments picked up the slack. Economists are watching for tariff fallout, but for now, the Fed’s just chilling on rate cuts. The economy’s not booming, but it’s not tanking either—just kinda hanging in there. #JobsReport #Economy #HiringTrends #WageGrowth #LaborMarket #JobCareer
