Private Sector adds 200K+ Jobs

For the 1st time in 5 years the private-sector added more than 200K jobs for 2 months in a row. That’s great news! The bad news is that if you have a job wages haven’t kept up with the rising cost of living. Average hourly wages actually fell in March — from $19.32 to $19.30. Since Nov, average hourly wages have been growing at less than 1% per year while consumer prices are up at a 4.6% rate.
