"Today's employment report shows continued signs of gradual labor market healing.  Payroll employment rose significantly in March, and the unemployment rate remained constant...  Moreover, revised estimates now show a small job gain in January and a smaller job loss in February than previously reported.  As a result, for the first quarter of 2010 as a whole, job growth averaged 54,000 per month.  This is a dramatic change from the first quarter of 2009, when average job loss was 753,000 per month."  Christina Romer, Chair of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisors.
