Oh, and you thought we were done with tariffs for a little while.

From Marketplace, I'm Sari Beneshour, in for David Brancaccio.

President Trump signed an executive order threatening new tariffs on imported medications.

They could be as high as 100%.

The president also overhauled how steel, aluminum, and copper tariffs are collected.

The economy added 178,000 new jobs in March, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced just a few minutes ago.

The unemployment rate ticked down a notch to 4.3 percent.

Julia Coronado is on the line to talk about it.

She's founder of Macro Policy Perspectives and a professor at UT Austin.

Hi, Julia.

Hello.

How are you?

Good.

So 178,000 jobs, unemployment rate ticks down.

How do we feel about that?

The number of long-term unemployed people is up more than 300,000 in a year.

Worrying or no?

As you kind of mentioned, the number of job gains or losses really for the past year has been just wildly all over the place one month to the next.

Same thing with revisions.

What does that mean?
