President Barack Obama hailed new signs of an improving U.S. labor market on Friday as proof that “we are beginning to turn the corner” but warned it would still take time to achieve sustained job growth.

Obama spoke after a closely watched government employment report showed that non-farm payrolls grew in March, adding 162,000 jobs, the strongest signal yet that the economic recovery is moving onto a more solid footing.
