While December’s job growth number of 75,000 and January’s of 113,000 were disappointing and probably underestimate the health of the economy, we won’t get confirmation of that in February! That’s because the monthly employment survey is administered during the week of the month on which 12th falls, which is this week! Thus, we’ll have to wait until the March employment report in early April to get the next meaningful reading.
