　　The pace of hiring in recent months has been stronger despite a very weak first quarter, when the economy shrank at an annual rate of 2.9 percent.

　　(这里的stronger是和weak对应的，所以weak first quarter是指就业疲软的第一季度)

　　参考译文：先翻译when: 今年第一季度经济衰退的速度达到了年化2.9%，

　　再翻：(因此)就业情况也很疲软;

　　最后：但是，最近几月就业情况持续好转。

　　Although the weakness was initially attributed to weather, as well as more technical factors like inventory swings, the depth of the contraction caught some economists off guard, especially those who began the year with a more positive outlook for 2014.

　　参考译文：尽管一季度的疲软最初被归咎于天气，以及库存波动等更加技术性的因素，但衰退的速度让一些经济学家猝不及防，尤其是那些年初时对2014年的前景较为乐观的人。
