April Jobs Shock: Rate Cuts on Hold?

April’s jobs report just dropped and it’s way stronger than expected—177,000 new jobs, way above predictions! Unemployment is steady at 4.2%, and wages are inching up. But here’s the kicker: with the job market holding up, don’t expect mortgage rates to drop anytime soon. The housing market is feeling the pinch, and consumer confidence is tanking—lots of people are hitting pause on big purchases. The trade war drama hasn’t hit jobs yet, but economists are watching May and June closely! #JobsReport #Economy #HousingMarket #MortgageRates #ConsumerConfidence #JobCareer
