Investing.com - Nonfarm payrolls (NFP) rose by 164,000 in April, according to official data released on Friday.

The data was lower than the consensus estimate for the creation of 189,000 jobs and below the 204,000 positions that the ADP report indicated on Wednesday.

The previous month’s reading of NFP was revised to 135,000 from the 103,000 registered initially.

The jobless rate fell from 4.1% to 3.9%, beating consensus expectations for it to slip to 4.0%.

Average hourly earnings advanced 0.1% month-on-month in April, below expectations for a 0.2% gain.

March’s increase was revised lower to 0.2% from the initial 0.3%.
