As expected through various reports, the number of jobs added in April slowed down from what was added in the previous few months.

From the article:
"Notably, employment among small businesses fell by 120,000, while large businesses added 321,000 workers. Small businesses are typically less resilient to economic forces than larger companies."

I hope this is a small hiccup and employment kicks back up in May, but I am not holding my breath.

We're still a percentage point below pre-pandemic levels, so there's still some room for growth, but I suspect it will start leveling out with perhaps some surges during the summer months as travel ramps up.

If you want to curb inflation, this is going to happen.

"Only" ?

That is ca. 3 million more jobs a year with that pace.

US population growth is only 1-2 million a year right now, so the labour market is creating twice as many jobs right now as population growth would suggest ...

The article seems to claim that, below, is the problem:

“While hiring demand remains strong, labor supply shortages caused job gains to suffer both for goods producers and services providers.”

The problem, according to the OP's article, is we're at full employment, and there's few workers left in the pool of available workers. We need more workers!

Reference:

“While hiring demand remains strong, labor supply shortages caused job gains to suffer both for goods producers and services providers.”

Are you speaking of Unemployment Insurance? I'm confused by "roles", but I suspect you meant, "rolls", as in "unemployment rolls"?

Anyway, pandemic unemployment bennies ended last year! Currently, we're at record low unemployment.

The problem is we've got a hot economy, and not enough workers to go around.
