Economy Adds 227K Jobs, Jobless Rate Unchanged
March 9th, 2012 2:53 pm Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers added 227,000 jobs in February to complete three of the best months of hiring since the recession ended. The unemployment rate was unchanged, largely because more people streamed into the work force.
The Labor Department said Friday that the unemployment rate stayed at 8.3 percent last month, the lowest in three years.
