Employment situation in April

The number of jobs created in April is back at a normal level I would say after the non-farm employment change in March added a mere 85 thousand jobs. In contrast, 223 thousand new jobs were created in April. 

The unemployment rate fell to 5.4%, a 0.1% improvement from March. This is the lowest unemployment rate since May 2008 as stated in a Bloomberg article.
