Feb. job gains are less than expected
Article Abstract:
The US Department of Labor reported that the economy had added 21,000 positions in February 2004, far fewer than the 125,000 predicted by economists while the unemployment rate remained stuck at 5.6 percent. The report reveals that 18,000 jobs were added in securities since August 2004, but 22,000 were lost in credit intermediation and mortgage banking over the same period.
