US Economy Adds 151,000 Jobs in February, Falling Short of Expectations

The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals that the US economy created 151,000 jobs in February, slightly below the 160,000 jobs that economists had predicted. This figure, while lower than expected, is an improvement from January’s revised number of 125,000 jobs.

Despite the job growth, the unemployment rate in February stood at 4.1 percent, slightly higher than the expected 4 percent. The slight increase in the unemployment rate has raised concerns about the impact of President Donald Trump’s aggressive trade policies on the overall economy.

Following the release of the employment data, US stock futures saw a positive reaction. S&P 500 futures rose by 0.5 percent, while Nasdaq 100 futures increased by 0.6 percent. On the other hand, the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield experienced a slight decrease of 0.01 percentage points, settling at 4.27 percent.

This report comes at a time when the markets have been reacting to Trump’s recent trade decisions. The president imposed 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico, causing uncertainty and volatility in the markets. The impact of these tariffs has been felt in the manufacturing sector and consumer spending, both of which are key drivers of US economic growth.

Interestingly, federal government employment saw a decline of 10,000 jobs in February. This decrease may be attributed to Trump’s efforts to reduce the federal workforce through initiatives like Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. This marks the largest reduction in federal employment since June 2022.

Overall, the February job report highlights the ongoing challenges and uncertainties facing the US economy. With trade tensions and government policies influencing market dynamics, it will be crucial to monitor how these factors continue to shape economic growth in the months ahead.
