The United States witnessed a spike in job data as America added 228,000 jobs last month, smashing expectations for the March.
The US economy created 228,000 positions in March, substantially exceeding economists' predictions of 130,000 and surpassing February's adjusted figure of 117,000, according to the Department of Labor.
According to the data, released by the White House, the US added 228,000 jobs which is nearly 100,000 more jobs than economists predicted and the fourth-highest month for private payroll growth in the past two years.
The private employment grew by 209,000 jobs — well above the pre-election 12-month average of 124,000 jobs: + 23,700 jobs in retail trade, + 22,900 jobs in transportation and warehousing, + 13,000 jobs in construction.
The number of full-time workers increased by a remarkable 459,000 over last month, while labor force participation grew by 232,000 as more Americans seek jobs.
As per the White House, Americans’ wages are up, with nominal hourly wages rising by nearly 4% over the past year.
Trump celebrates 'great job numbers' on social media
Trump administration celebrated the new job positions and said that under Biden, the government and government-adjacent employment accounted for nearly three-fourths of new employment.
The While House said that under President Trump, that number dropped to just 42% in March.
"The President's push to onshore jobs here in the United States is working," stated White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, highlighting employment growth in sectors like transportation.
Donald Trump also hailed the report and said, "Great job numbers, far better than expected. it’s already working. hang tough, we can’t lose!!!"
The Trump administration has implemented extensive federal government staff reductions since January, whilst also imposing significant tariffs on both allies and competitors.
Analysts caution Trump's tariff can impact jobs market
Meanwhile some analysts warned that the soaring job expectation is "old news" as the full effects of President Donald Trump's tariffs and federal cuts have yet to ripple through the country.
The analysts cautioned about increased consumer costs and reduced economic growth.
"The labor market was in good shape as of last month, but it's old news considering the Trump Administration's tariff announcement and ensuing global market rout," noted Nationwide chief economist Kathy Bostjancic, AFP reported.
Trump's recent announcement of a 10 percent baseline tariff affecting US trading partners, excluding Canada and Mexico, starting Saturday - with higher rates planned for most economies - was "larger and more complex" than anticipated, she indicated.
