Economics had projected 200, 000 roles in March.
The poverty rate dipped to 3.8 percentage in March, down from 3.9 percent. The discussion estimate was 3.9 percentage.
Employment gains were concentrated in health care ( 72, 000 ), government ( 71, 000 ), leisure and hospitality ( 49, 000 ), and construction ( 39, 000 ). Last month, manufacturing did not add any fresh work.
