(CNN) — The number of available jobs in the US unexpectedly increased in April, signaling a potential undercurrent of strength in the labor market despite broader economic uncertainty.

President Donald Trump’s sweeping (and frequently shifting) policy moves, especially related to global trade, have injected incredible uncertainty into the US economy, rattling markets, shaking consumer confidence and freezing business decisions.
Economists were expecting that job openings — a measurement of labor market demand — would fall for the third consecutive month to 7.1 million, according to FactSet consensus estimates.
