Private employers added 109,000 jobs in April, up from the prior month and signaling continued stability in the labor market.

Job growth was concentrated in a few key areas. Education and health services led the gains, adding 61,000 jobs, while trade, transportation, and utilities added 25,000. Construction also continued to contribute, with 10,000 new jobs.

Even with the stronger headline number, hiring remains uneven across sectors. Some areas are still adding workers, while others are showing slower momentum or modest declines.

Wage growth also continued, with pay for workers staying in their roles rising 4.4% annually.

Overall, the latest data suggests a labor market that remains steady, but selective—with employers continuing to hire, though not across every part of the economy.
