FT on Lime gives a good summary on Job's data :
"Friday’s US jobs data sound a warning that should be heard well beyond economists and market watchers, writes Mohamed El-Erian.
With just 115,000 new jobs in April, the US economy is not creating enough employment opportunities to make a dent in the 12.5m jobless Americans in the labour force, of which a stunning 5.1m are long-term unemployed. Moreover, the disappointing monthly number managed to fall short of analysts’ massively subdued consensus expectation of 160,000, highlighting yet again the unusual sluggishness of the labour market."
