#US employers added 151k #jobs in Feb, the first full month under the new #Trump admin, extending a streak of job growth to 50 months [#ThankYouJoe]. The #unemployment rate rose to 4.1%, from 4%.
#DOGE’s role: The survey showed a decline of 10k in federal employment. But the report was based on surveys conducted in the 2nd week of Feb, & economists say the admin’s #MassFirings, buyouts & hiring freezes at #FederalAgencies may not fully surface in the monthly data until this spring.
