March Payrolls +216,000

Today’s jobs report:

216,000 jobs were created last month which beat expectations; 230,000 were in the private sector. The unemployment rate ticked down from 8.9% to 8.8%.

Here’s another way of looking at it: The official recovery will soon turn two years old. Nonfarm payrolls went from being 8.72 million below the high to now being only 7.26 million below the high.
