Employment figures show that the American economy continues to stride past obstacles, including the inflationary pressures of the war with Iran.
Employers added 57,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate fell to 4.2 percent from 4.3 percent the previous month, data from the Labor Department showed on Thursday.
The unemployment rate has been at or below 4.5 percent since October 2021, the longest streak since the late 1960s.
