U.S. employers created 274,000 new jobs in April and added more workers in each of the two prior months than first thought, the Labor Department said on Friday in a report that eased fears about economic growth.
The April jobs total far outstripped Wall Street economists’ expectations for 170,000 new jobs. And the government said 93,000 more jobs were created in February and March than it previously reported 146,000 in March instead of 110,000 and a whopping 300,000 in February instead of 243,000.
