According to the US Labor Department, the private sector added 119,000 jobs in April which support signs of continued economic growth and recovery, but it was less than the 175,000 jobs expected by many economist.
Manufacturing, service, financial and construction all saw gains, however, the overall number of new jobs was held down by the retail and government sectors which saw modest declines.
