February Jobs Report

Summary from the AllSides News Team

The United States economy added 273,000 jobs in February and the unemployment rate dropped to 3.5%. Some center- and left-rated reporting outlets framed the growth as happening before the novel coronavirus began spreading in the U.S. Many reporting outlets also focused on the purported economic threat still posed by the virus, as well as revised jobs figures from January and December 2019, which boosted the number of jobs added to 273,000 and 184,000 for each month, respectively.
