WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Job growth slowed in the U.S. economy in April, but wage growth took off, the Labor Department said Friday.
Nonfarm payrolls expanded by 138,000 in April, less than the 199,000 expected by economists surveyed by MarketWatch. The unemployment rate remained at 4.7% as expected.
Average hourly earnings increased 9 cents, or 0.5%, to $16.61. Economists expected earnings to rise 0.3%.
Earnings are up 3.8% in the past year, the biggest year-over-year gain since August 2001. Wages rose 5 cents in March and 7 cents in February.
The acceleration in wages will keep pressure on the Federal Reserve to continue to raise interest rates to stamp out inflationary pressures stemming from wage costs. The Fed is expected to raise rates for a 16th straight meeting next Wednesday to put the Fed's overnight lending rate at 5%.
Some analysts expect the Fed to keep raising rates in June and perhaps August, despite comments from Fed officials, including Chairman Ben Bernanke, that a pause could be in order to allow the Fed to reassess the impact of its past rate hikes, which influence the economy only with a long lag.
Higher wages don't necessarily lead to inflation if they are accompanied by strong productivity growth, Bernanke has said. On Thursday, the government reported productivity gains of 3.2% in the first quarter, resuming the robust performance seen since 2001.
Payroll growth in February and March was revised down by a total of 36,000 to 200,000 new jobs in each month. In the past year, 1.96 million jobs have been created, an increase of 1.5%.
In the April establishment survey, payroll growth was widespread throughout industries. Of 278 industries, 64.4% were adding jobs. In the services, 101,000 jobs were created, including 35,000 in education and health care and 28,000 in professional and business services. Government added 7,000 jobs.
In goods-producing industries, 37,000 jobs were added. Construction added 10,000 and manufacturing added 19,000.
The average workweek rose to 33.9 hours. Total hours worked in the economy increased 0.5%.
In the household survey, employment rose by 47,000 while unemployment increased by 112,000 to 7.1 million. The employment participation rate remained at 66.1%. The employment-population ratio remained at 63%.
