U.S. added 178,000 jobs in March, beat expectations - UPI.com

April 3 (UPI) -- New jobs grew while unemployment held firm in the United States in March, with 178,000 nonfarm payrolls added, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.

March was a rebound from a poor February report that showed 133,000 jobs lost. The unemployment rate remained at 4.3%.

The February jobs report numbers were revised down by 41,000.

Friday's report beat the Dow Jones consensus estimate of 59,000 added payrolls. It is more than double the 67,000 jobs added in March 2025.
