US Added Only 20,000 Jobs Last Month — Fewest Since September 2017

(CNN) — The US economy added only 20,000 jobs in February, a surprisingly low number that bucked the trend of huge jobs gains in recent months.
That was the fewest jobs gained in a month since September 2017.
The unemployment rate fell to 3.8% as fewer unemployed people were looking for work. The Labor Department suggested that furloughed workers from the government shutdown returning to work also contributed to the the lower unemployment rate.
