The Labor Department reported that 164,000 jobs were added in April, significantly short of the expected 193,000 jobs, but up from a weather-related slowdown the month before. The unemployment rate fell to 3.9 percent from 4.1 percent, marking the lowest rate since 2000. "We've continued to add jobs routinely every month for so long, and the unemployment rate we have reached is amazing," the chief economist of job search site ZipRecruiter, Catherine Barrera, told The New York Times.
