The US economy continued to churn out jobs at a brisk pace in March, pushing the unemployment rate down to 3.5 percent, signs of persistent labour market tightness that could see the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates again next month.Nonfarm payrolls increased by 236,000 jobs last month, the Department of Labor said in its closely watched employment report on Friday. Data for February was revised higher to show 326,000 jobs were added instead of 311,000 as previously reported.Some of the slowdown in hiring reflected the fading boost from the unseasonably mild weather in January and February.
