US UNEMPLOYMENT RISES BUT MORE JOBS CREATED
Baku, May 8 (AzerTAc). The US unemployment rate rose in April, even though more jobs were created than in any month in the past four years.
The jobless rate increased to 9.9%, up from 9.7% in March. However, an extra 290,000 jobs were created in April, mainly in manufacturing, healthcare and hospitality, the Labor Department said.
The reason that overall unemployment rose was because more people started looking for work, boosting the size of the labour force. The total number of people unemployed in April was 15.3 million.
