Stephen Brown, of Capital Economics, said that the stronger-than-expected rebound in non-farm payrolls in March primarily reflected the end of strikes in the healthcare industry and the recruitment disruptions caused by weather factors in February, rather than a rapid warming of the labor market. He pointed out, "Although rising oil prices may eventually support mining industry employment, the more direct risk is that consumer purchasing power may be damaged, which will suppress demand and affect recruitment in the short term." On the other hand, the information industry experienced another decline, and employment in the financial services industry also declined, further confirming the trend of artificial intelligence suppressing recruitment in some industries, especially in the professional services industry, which only added 2,000 new jobs while the computer systems design positions decreased by 13,200.
