US adds 177,000 jobs in sign of resilience; unemployment steady at 4.2%

American employers added a better-than-expected 1,77,000 jobs in April as the job market showed resilience in the face of President Donald Trump's trade wars. Hiring was down slightly from a revised 1,85,000 in March and came in above economists' expectations for a modest 1,35,000.

The preliminary reading of the University of Michigan's closely watched consumer sentiment index, released Friday, fell 11 per cent on a monthly basis to 50.8, the lowest since the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic.
