TechFlow News, April 3: According to JINSHI Data, U.S. job growth rebounded in March by more than expected, driven by the conclusion of healthcare-sector strikes and milder weather. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate fell to 4.3%. However, downside risks to the labor market are rising amid growing uncertainty over the prospect of war with Iran. The highly anticipated employment report released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday showed that nonfarm payrolls increased by 178,000 last month—far exceeding the market expectation of 60,000—and marking the largest gain since late 2024. February’s figure was revised downward to a loss of 133,000 jobs. The March unemployment rate stood at 4.3%, also below market expectations. Economists broadly anticipated a rebound in the labor market following the end of the strikes. In February, over 30,000 healthcare workers lost their jobs, and severe winter weather contributed significantly to the sharp rise in unemployment. This robust growth may further intensify the Federal Reserve’s concerns about inflation risks, as rapidly rising energy prices triggered by the Middle East conflict exacerbate those concerns. Wage growth was primarily driven by hiring in the healthcare sector, which rebounded following the resolution of the strikes. Construction, leisure and hospitality sectors—which had declined in February—also posted rebounds, likely reflecting weather-related economic recovery.
