"March Sees Strongest US Private Sector Job Growth in Eight Months"

Private sector job growth exceeded expectations in March, with companies adding 184,000 jobs, marking the best month for job creation since July. Wage growth also accelerated, particularly for workers who switched jobs, with annual pay rising 10%. The report showed broad-based job gains across sectors, with the leisure and hospitality sector leading in new hires.
