labor market is cooling down the march jobs report from the bureau of labor statistics is the 1st and 12 months to come in below expectations. reporter ivan rodriguez breaks down the numbers and what it means for the feds yearlong campaign to chill inflation, us employers added 236,000 jobs in march, coming in below expectations a labor market cool down, that could actually be a good sign. the fed isn't going to publicly say we want job losses. but i think the fed knows and all the economists there that know that if in play if the unemployment rate says the 3.5% you're not likely to calm or tame inflation industries like leisure and hospitality, healthcare and government continued to lead the way in job gains. the job losses are coming from sectors like manufacturing and construction. still the labor market has remained stubbornly resilient. the unemployment rate dropped to 3.5% average hourly earnings grew 0.3% from the month before. and the cool down in hiring may not be enough to stop the federal reserve from raising interest rates again next month.

inflation is extremely high, and it's hurting the working people of this country badly and we are taking the only measures we have to bring inflation down, is aiming to engineer a soft landing for inflation, but it's a difficult tightrope to walk. my guess is that the process of bringing down inflation will bring on a recession at some stage as it almost always has in the past. i'm ivan rodriguez reporting. all right time now to get a look at the weather as we head into the holiday weekend. the easter bunny would like some clear sunny weather. santiago alright, i'm gonna deliver that . how does that sound? maybe not clear. but it will be sunny and warm for the most part on sunday . so dan and amma let's take a look at some live pictures. a lot of clouds hanging around still. but we are seeing some peaks of brightness. which is a sign of what's to come. take a look at the 12 hour planner for easter sun comes up at 6 43 if
