Maryland reported its largest jump in employment in the past 15 months by adding 7,800 jobs in April, according to data released Friday by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The report also showed job growth in March was healthier than initially reported, with a revision to last month’s estimates that added 500 total jobs.
