US employers add 175,000 jobs in April

FILE - A salesperson shows an unsold 2024 Cooper SE electric hardtop to a prospective buyer at a Mini dealership on May 1, 2024, in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. On May 3, a U.S. government report said employers added 175,000 jobs in April.

The nation’s employers pulled back on their hiring in April but still added a decent 175,000 jobs in a sign that persistently high interest rates may be starting to slow the robust U.S. job market.
