Economy adds 288,000 jobs; jobless rate, 6.3%
Employers added 288,000 jobs in April as milder weather continued to lift the labor market from a winter slump.
The unemployment rate fell to 6.3% from 6.7% -- the biggest drop since September 2008, the Labor Department said Friday.
Many economists expect the economy and job market to accelerate this year because of higher household wealth and reduced debt, as well as more modest federal government spending cuts
