The US employment growth slowed last month, but the unemployment rate remained low, according to official data.
In line with expectations, 236,000 jobs were added by employers in March, with taverns and restaurants leading the way.
The number of new positions created in March is lower than in February, but the unemployment rate of 3.5% remains near historic lows.
As the US central bank boosts interest rates to restrain rising prices, data are closely examined for declines.
