The numbers don’t lie. The Bureau of Labor Statistics just dropped April’s jobs report, and it’s a blockbuster: 115,000 new nonfarm payroll jobs added—nearly double what economists predicted at around 60,000. March was revised up to a strong 185,000, and unemployment held steady at 4.3%.Gains came in health care, transportation and warehousing, and retail. Meanwhile, federal government jobs kept shrinking by another 9,000 as the bureaucracy trim continues.
