US Job Market Remains Resilient Amid Tariff Tensions
US Job Market Remains Resilient Amid Tariff Tensions Despite increasing uncertainty triggered by a surge in import tariffs, the U.S. job market remained robust in April, adding 177,000 new positions and keeping the unemployment rate steady at 4.2%, according to the latest data from the Labor Department. The stronger-than-expected hiring numbers came during a month when financial markets were rattled by new trade policies and rising anxiety about the country’s economic outlook. This resilience in employment has continued to confound many analysts, particularly given the broader economic pressures of high inflation and elevated interest rates. The job gains last month exceeded expectations, offering a glimmer of hope that the United States might navigate through trade tensions without tipping into a serious downturn. “The key message coming from the totality of the data this week is that the U.S. economy was fundamentally strong through the first week of April, however, the outlook remains very uncertain,” said Olu Sonola, head of U.S. economic research at Fitch Ratings. He acknowledged that job gains in earlier months—January and February—were revised downward, but still called the latest report solid. The Labor Department’s employment surveys were conducted just days after President Trump introduced sweeping tariffs referred to as "Liberation Day" measures. These tariffs elevated the average U.S. import tax rate to levels not seen in over a century, throwing a curveball into business planning and investor confidence. While many firms have responded with caution, waiting to see if Trump's trade agenda materializes into formal agreements, the labor market appears to have largely shrugged off the policy shock for now. Job growth was led by sectors such as healthcare, transportation, and warehousing, signaling continued strength in essential services and logistics. Federal government employment shrank, aligning with the Trump administration’s stated goal of reducing federal spending, but this decline was balanced out by job increases at the local government level. However, not all sectors fared well—manufacturing and retail payrolls declined, reflecting possible early tremors from tariff-related disruptions. Wage growth remained strong, with average hourly earnings rising by 3.8% over the past year. That level of income growth may help sustain consumer spending, a key driver of the U.S. economy. Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management, interpreted the figures as a signal that the Federal Reserve is under no immediate pressure to lower interest rates. “Why would the Fed start cutting rates right now when the unemployment rate is near record lows, the consumer is still fairly robust, and inflation is running above target?” she said. Looking ahead, Shah warned “The economy will weaken in the coming months but, with this underlying momentum, the U.S. has a decent chance of averting recession if it can step back from the tariff brink in time,” she added.

Community Terrifying Discovery as Cobra Found in Hotel Bathroom in Krabi
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. Tourists and hotel staff in Krabi were left horrified after a cobra measuring over three metres in length and weighing seven kilograms was discovered hiding in a communal bathroom at a hotel in the popular Ao Nang area. The startling encounter occurred on the evening of 1 May, when a hotel employee noticed something slithering into the bathroom. Upon closer inspection, they were shocked to find the giant venomous snake partially coiled behind a door. Alarmed guests raised the alert, prompting an urgent call for assistance. Responding to the call was local reptile expert “Bang Cha,” renowned for his ability to catch venomous snakes bare-handed. On arrival, he carefully used a hook to coax the cobra out from its hiding place. However, the snake, clearly agitated, reared its head and spread its hood in a classic defensive posture before striking aggressively. Bang Cha narrowly avoided the venomous bite. The snake then fled into an adjacent cubicle, climbing onto a toilet and continuing to exhibit aggressive behaviour. In a dramatic moment, Bang Cha decided to confront the cobra directly. With precision and calm, he managed to grab the snake by the head with his bare hands and safely secured it in a sack for relocation back into the wild. Hotel staff later recounted their fear, with one saying, “I was just walking past the bathroom when I saw something slither inside. I looked again and couldn’t believe it, it was a massive king cobra. We called Bang Cha immediately.” The incident sent shockwaves through the hotel, with both staff and guests visibly shaken. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the snake was successfully removed without harm. This is the latest in a series of snake sightings in Krabi province, where both tourists and locals are urged to remain vigilant, particularly during the rainy season when snakes are more active.
