(CNN) — Employment growth rebounded in February as the US economy added 151,000 jobs, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Friday.
The unemployment rate edged up to 4.1% from 4% the month before.
February’s report marks another solid month of job gains and a continuation of a historic expansion of the labor market. Job gains picked up from January, which was revised lower to 125,000 from initial estimates of 143,000.
Whether that continues, however, remains to be seen. Recent economic data has shown that uncertainty and layoffs are on the rise amid some monumental policy shifts from the Trump administration.
Economists were expecting that job growth would pick up at a 160,000 net gain.
