America's jobs recovery got an unexpected boost in January despite the Omicron variant spreading rapidly throughout the country.
The economy added 467,000 jobs last month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Feb. 4, better than most economists had expected. Find the report here.
Restaurants and bars added more than 100,000 jobs. Positions in retail, logistics and business services jobs also increased. Previous forecasts had predicted only 150,000 jobs for the time period and plenty of experts even expected job losses. It's a reminder that there are a lot of moving parts in the pandemic economy, making it hard for economic models to keep up with a situation that is in flux.
