Economy posts fastest private job gains in three years
The nation added 162000 jobs in March with the census contributing about a third of the total. Private sector jobs rose 123000, the best gain since May 2007, suggesting a real but slow recovery while unemployment remains near 9.7 percent. President Obama hailed the numbers but warned of continued hardship as underemployment rose to 16.9 percent.

Of more than 230 cases decided, about 60 percent favored increased benefits, while 119 were dismissed as ineligible. The panel, run by the Air Force, seeks to correct earlier rating inconsistencies that affected many servicemembers.

Washington reports the FAA will permit pilots to fly while on four antidepressants after a year of successful treatment with no cockpit safety risks. The policy includes amnesty for pilots who secretly sought treatment or lied on medical forms and aims to reduce stigma around depression in aviation.
