Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez today released the following statement on April’s job gains: “April’s employment numbers reflect continued positive momentum with more than 3.5 million new jobs over 23 months. We have seen steady job gains and there are more Americans working today than at any time in our history. The unemployment rate at 5.2 percent is well below the average of the last three decades. However, we will not rest until every American looking for work finds a job.”
