the stimulus is working

“Employment in the U.S. increased in March by the most in three years, and the unemployment rate held at 9.7 percent as companies gained confidence the economic recovery will be sustained.” According to the Labor Department, the economy added 162,000 jobs. The figures include the government’s hiring of 48,000 temporary workers for the Census. Private employers “added 123,000 jobs, the most since May 2007.”
