"Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 266,000 in April, and the unemployment rate was little changed at 6.1 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Notable job gains in leisure and hospitality, other services, and local government education were partially offset by employment declines in temporary help services and in couriers and messengers. "
Expectations were that unemployment would fall to about 5.8% for the month. More here and here.

Since the Liberal Democrats failed to secure the minimum required five seats, they're no longer represented on the Scottish Parliamnetary Bureau, as per this tweet from the former Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament.
What is the Parliamentary Bureau?
>The main functions of the Parliamentary Bureau are: > >(a) to propose the Parliamentβs programme of business; > >(b) to propose alterations to the daily business list; > >(c) to propose the establishment, remit, membership and duration of any committee or sub-committee; and > >(d) to determine any question regarding the competence of a committee to deal with a matter and, to determine the lead committee in relation to any matter that falls within the competence of more than one committee.
This deals a frankly pretty huge blow to the LD's ability to influence parliamentary business.
Further, the Lib Dems will no longer qualify for an automatic question at FMQs.
The party also failed to win back it's deposit across a swathe of Scotland.
Edit - confirmed, lost deposits in FIFTY seats. I feel second-hand embarrassment for the party, this is humiliating.
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 379,000 in February, and the unemployment rate was little changed at 6.2 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The labor market continued to reflect the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In February, most of the job gains occurred in leisure and hospitality, with smaller gains in temporary help services, health care and social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing. Employment declined in state and local government education, construction, and mining.
