Job Market Hits Pothole, Says Bach
of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank
| 
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The U.S. labor market has hit a "pothole," according to Robert Bach, national director of market analytics for brokerage firm Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, raising new questions about the pace of recovery in the near term. Employers added 88,000 net new payroll jobs in March, well below expectations for around 200,000 and below the four-month average of 221,000 from November through February. "[The report] from the Labor Department indicates the recovery will continue, but not at the accelerated pace that some indicators earlier in the year had suggested," wrote Bach in a research note Friday shortly after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the nonfarm payroll employment figures for March.
