The United States created 165,000 new non-farm jobs in April, with the figure beating expectations.
Hiring was much stronger in the previous two months than first thought, and the gains trimmed the unemployment rate to a four-year low of 7.5%, official figures showed.
The Department of Labour report showed the job market is improving, despite higher taxes and government spending cuts.
In addition to the April gains, the government said employers added 138,000 jobs in March and 332,000 in February. That is 114,000 more over the two months than was originally estimated.
The economy has created an average of 208,000 jobs a month from November through April, which is above the 138,000 added in the previous six months.
John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo, said: "This is a good report. There's a lot of strength.
"It's good for the economy. It's good for people's income."
The stronger job growth suggests that the federal budget cutting "does not mean recession," Mr Silvia said. "It does not mean a dramatic slowdown."
The release of the figures in the US came with certain drama after a fire overnight at the department's headquarters shut down the building for most employees.
Members of the media were allowed in for the release of the report.
