• Economy

The Labor Department revised the monthly payroll figures by roughly 818,000 in the 12 months ending in March. That suggests employers added about 174,000 jobs per month during that period, down from the previously reported pace of about 242,000 jobs—a downward revision of about 28 percent. The downward adjustments were limited to the private sector, with nearly half in the professional and business services industry (revised down by 358,000, or 1.6 percent.) Other sectors showing large negative swings included the information industry (down 68,000, or 2.3 percent), leisure and hospitality (down 150,000, or 0.9 percent), and manufacturing (down 115,000, or -0.9 percent).
