    U.S. Economy Added 162,000 Jobs in March, Most in 3 Years

    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/0…

    After more than two years in which over 8 million jobs were lost, the country’s nonfarm payrolls surged in March.

    Employers added 162,000 jobs last month, and employment numbers in the previous two months were revised upward. Nationwide, the unemployment rate held steady at 9.7 percent.

    To many ordinary, out-of-work Americans, the recovery may finally start to feel real.

    “The key message from this report is that we’ve finally turned the corner,” said Nigel Gault, chief United States economist at IHS Global Insight. “Going forward, we should expect things to strengthen further over the rest of the year.”
