New signs of improvement from the American labor market. 165 jobs were created in the United States in April, well above the 148 expected by analysts.
The unemployment rate thus fell from 7,6 to 7,5%, the lowest figure since December 2008, while experts expected no change. The March data has also been revised upwards: from the previously estimated 88 jobs it has risen to 138.
