According to the payroll processor, 189,000 jobs were added in March — down from 214,000 in February. That’s the smallest gain since January 2014, when 157,000 jobs were added.

On Friday, Americans will get a better picture of the jobs market when the Labor Department releases its monthly jobs report for March.

The unemployment rate currently stands at 5.5 percent after employers added 295,000 jobs to their payrolls in February.
