The U.S. economy added only a meager 20,000 jobs in February, according to the latest Employment Situation Summary report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions Chief Economist Curt Long said that one poor report should not set off alarm bells, but given that the labor market is the linchpin for the entire economy, it does add to existing concerns.
