This is not a question, it's a statement. This is not Jeopardy, please phrase your questions in the form of, well, questions.

"The unemployment rate for April has decreased in the US" is vague because the claim does not make it clear exactly what the comparison is to.

Most people would interpret it as meaning "Unemployment in April was lower than unemployment in March", but the wording also supports "Unemployment in April of this year was lower than it was in April of last year" or, stretching a bit, "Plotting unemployment in April over the last quarter-century shows a general downward trend." The first two of those claims are unambiguous, the last is a little more vague, but still much clearer than the original sentence.
