America created over 400,000 new jobs during April alone

It was the 16th consecutive month of job growth and the 12th month in a row that increased more than 400,000 jobs. A few months ago, the number of new jobs a month exceeded a million.

Last month, most positions increased in the free time industry and hospitality. Production, transport and storage also added a considerable number of jobs.

As businesses are looking for workers, they continue to raise salaries to attract staff. Average earnings per hour increased to $31,85. Salaries have been rising steadily since June 2020.

Before pandemic, the American economy was increasing on average less than 200,000 jobs during the Trump administration, reports CNN.
