Employment probably increased for a seventh straight month in April, while manufacturing stayed at the forefront of the expansion, economists said before reports this week.
Payrolls rose by 190,000 workers last month after a 216,000 advance in March, according to the median forecast of 56 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News ahead of Labor Department data on May 6. Other figures may show that both factories and service industries expanded in April.
