Lee McPheters, a research professor of economics at ASU's W. P. Carey School of Business, said the findings are a bright spot, but the rate of job growth was weaker than what some expected. Economists had predicted at least 2% growth and a gain of 60,000 new jobs for this year, McPheters said. But the April data shows 1.7% growth.
