The February jobs report was surprisingly strong, at least on the toplines, with 175,000 total jobs and 162,000 private-sector jobs added on a seasonally-adjusted basis,
while unemployment ticked up by 0.1 percentage points to 6.7% as more people entered/re-entered the workforce than entered the larger civilian population. The revisions to the December and January jobs numbers were also positive, to the tune of a net 25,000 additional jobs added.
The workforce grew by 264,000 on a seasonally-adjusted basis, keeping the Labor Force Participation Rate at 63.0%, though a larger 63.0% than last month due to rounding. The number of employed grew by only 42,000, leaving the employment-population ratio at 58.8%, though a lower 58.8% than last month due to rounding.
