U.S. February Jobs Report Locks In Fed Rate Hike Next Week
​The February jobs report was stronger than expected and locks in a Fed rate hike next week. February employment growth appears to have been boosted by unseasonably warm weather and though in the near term there may be some payback, the bigger issue for the Fed is that the pace of job creation is running at about twice the rate of labor force growth over the last year even as the unemployment rate is now lower than the rate the Fed views as being consistent with full employment.
