ALL WHILE SHRINKING THE PUBLIC SECTOR:
The U.S. Economy Has Been Adding Jobs for 72 Straight Months (BOURREE LAM, 3/04/16, The Atlantic)
The February jobs report is out, and it contains a key indicator about the economy available ahead of the Federal Reserve's next monthly meeting, in about a week and a half. The Labor Department's monthly report shows strong hiring in the U.S. economy for February, which saw the addition of 242,000 jobs and a steady unemployment rate at 4.9 percent. In an economy that's been looking for good news, it's encouraging that the U.S. economy has been adding jobs 72 months in a row.
