April Jobs Report Signals Momentum: Why Companies Should Reassess Their Staffing Strategy Now

Posted on 5/12 by Jenny Moraga

The April employment report delivered a stronger-than-expected signal for employers: growth is happening, but companies still need flexibility to keep pace. According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall nonfarm employment increased in April, with the economy adding 115,000 jobs. That number came in well above the expected median forecast of 65,000 jobs, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists. Temporary staffing also moved in a positive direction. U.S. temporary employment rose by 7,900 jobs, reaching 2.5 million temporary jobs in April. While temporary employment remains below its March 2022 peak of nearly 3.2 million, the latest numbers suggest that staffing activity is beginning to firm up. Staffing Industry Analysts Economist Michael Schultz described the April results as “surprisingly strong,” adding that “this is the first time since last summer where a strong month was not immediately followed by a weak month.” For companies evaluating their workforce plans, that matters.
