The U.S. economy added 178,000 workers to payrolls in March, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. That’s three times the consensus forecast of 59,000 and a sharp reversal from February’s revised decline of 133,000, which was dragged down by a large healthcare strike.

The break-even rate of employment growth — the number of new workers needed on payrolls each month to hold the unemployment rate steady — has collapsed to near zero, according to converging analyses from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and the Federal Reserve…

President Donald Trump made a compelling case that other countries need to “step up when it comes to the Strait of Hormuz,” Tommy Pigott, principal deputy spokesman at the U.S. Department of State said during an interview on Breitbart News Daily. When asked why this responsibility of opening up the Strait of Hormuz has fallen on America, Pigott pointed to remarks President Donald Trump made during his speech Wednesday night. “As the President explained last night, it shouldn’t,” Pigott said Thursday. “We have seen through this operation that the Iranian Air Force is really hurt; their missile launchers are decimated;…

The U.S. economy may need fewer than 10,000 new jobs per month to maintain a stable unemployment rate this year, Federal Reserve researchers said in a paper published Wednesday—a threshold so low it would force a fundamental rethinking of how Wall Street, the press, and policymakers evaluate the monthly employment report. The analysis, by Fed economists Seth Murray and Ivan Vidangos, finds that the “breakeven pace” of job creation—the number of positions the economy must add each month to hold the unemployment rate steady—has plunged to nearly zero, reflecting a sharp pullback in net immigration and the continued retirement of…
