US payrolls increased by 115,000 in April but were down from the 185,000 nonfarm jobs added in March. For the 12 months ending in the month there was little net change in payrolls.


While payroll growth slowed compared to stronger periods seen earlier, that suggested that hiring demand remains present across several major sectors of the economy.


The report included revisions to past reports, including a revision down on February's reading by 23,000. March's figure was revised up by 7,000.
