Jobs Lost in February Are Fewer Than Expected

From the Wall Street Journal

The U.S. economy shed 36,000 jobs in February, fewer than expected. The unemployment rate, which is calculated using a different household survey, remained at 9.7%.

Employment fell in construction and information, while temporary-help services added jobs. The number of workers on government payroll fell by 18,000, while those on federal payroll were up 7,000.
