Jobless Total Falls in April
The Census Bureau reported unemployment declined by 151,000 from March 12 to April 9. Unemployment for the week ending April 9 was 3,016,000, down from 3,167,000 for the week ending March 12, though April's total remained about 800,000 higher than a year ago. Long-term unemployment appeared to rise as seasonal gains in agriculture and outdoor work reduced jobless rolls. Total civilian employment reached 57,800,000 in April, up from March’s 57,650,000, with farm employment rising 400,000 less than seasonal expectations for a total of about 7,800,000 on farms.
