Abstract: The article covers a report from the U.S. Labor Department indicating that 126,000 jobs were added in March 2015, marking a decline in hiring and reflecting overall economic conditions. Noted causes of the decrease include a drop in oil prices and a decline in consumer spending in construction due to winter weather conditions in the Northeast and Midwest. Unemployment rates, hourly wages, and hours worked discussed in the report are also examined.
