New York City’s jobless rate rose slightly in March, going from 4.1 percent in February to 4.5 percent. The number of residents with jobs decreased by 21,700 to 3.66 million, according to the adjusted figures. This is the lowest number of available positions in the city in the last seven months. Some economist believe that that this could indicate the turn around of a steady climb in New York City jobs that has been going on for almost five years now.
