Job creation in the US slows down in April

(AFP) Job creation in the United States cooled more than analysts expected in April, while unemployment rose slightly, according to official data published this Friday, which, however, still shows a resilient labor market.

The world's largest economy recorded 175,000 new jobs last month, a drop from March's revised figure of 315,000 jobs. The unemployment rate rose slightly from 3.8% to 3.9%, according to the Department of Labor.
