I'm Charles Payne, and this is The Fox Business Report.

Markets were closed for good Friday, but the Labor Department released the all-important

jobs report for March, with U.S. employers adding a surprisingly strong 178,000 new jobs

during the month and rebounding from a dismo February.

Jobs were added in healthcare construction, transportation, and warehousing, and the unemployment

rate, dipped to 4.3%, and Starbucks will be joining forces with Boyu Capital and handing

off a large part of its coffee shop business in China to the investment firm, which is expected

to allow Starbucks to focus on reviving its U.S. business.

Boyu will hold a 60% stake of its China operations while Starbucks will keep a 40% investment.

And Microsoft is looking to invest $10 billion in Japan over the next four years to develop

AI infrastructure with partners and strengthen cyber security initiatives.

That's your Fox Business Report, I'm Hillary Barzky, invested in you.
