US Jobs Report Beats Expectations
Hiring gains were concentrated in the healthcare and construction sectors, helping to drive the unemployment rate down to 4.3 percent.
The rebound follows a dismal February and offers a rare piece of positive economic news for the Trump administration.
However, the Federal Reserve is expected to remain cautious, as mounting inflation risks from the Middle East conflict complicate the outlook for interest rate cuts.
Many economists remain concerned that the headline numbers may mask underlying fragility in the broader economy.
