According to information released by the Bureau of Labour Statistics, the US gained 253,000 new employment during the month of April.
According to the Xinhua news agency, US salaries increased significantly, an indication that labour demand is still robust despite what many refer to as a sluggish economy.
The figures were higher than the 180,000 new jobs predicted by economists.
From 3.5% last month, the unemployment rate decreased to 3.4 this month.
