Pretty much a goldilocks job report. 175K jobs is respectable at any time and in the context of strong prior months so a ~250K monthly average even more so.
Unemployment ticked up to 3.9%.
Earnings growth slowed.
Most reassuring data for the Fed in the last 2+ weeks. pic.twitter.com/5G1iCTy3Cz

Job openings and quits both fell in March as a wide range of labor market indicators are consistent with a cooling economy--and a labor market that, broadly, is like where it was in 2019--with lower quits but higher openings (with a question of whether openings were trending up). pic.twitter.com/6fjPOvlGBB
