Meanwhile, an Alberta Clipper storm will push quickly southeastward across the Mid- west. The clipper storm will produce periods of snow on its northern flank and rain on its southern flank. The rain and snow will reach the central Appalachians by the afternoon hours and then the mid-Atlantic coast at night. Spotty rain showers will diminish over South Florida. Most areas from the Gulf Coast to the Plains and Four Corners region can expect a dry day with sunshine.

The unemployment rate remained at a low 4.9 percent. The gains show that the U.S. economy has weath- ered a global economic slowdown and falling fi- nancial markets without suffering much blowback. The improvement will help ease fears that arose in re- cent weeks that a new U.S. recession might be looming. Friday's jobs report from the government is also sure to be closely monitored by the Federal Reserve and presidential candidates as a gauge of how well the economy is extending its 6½-year rebound from the Great Recession. In addition to the healthy job gain for February, the government also revised up its estimates of job growth in December and January by a combined 30,000. Over the past three months, em- ployers have added a strong 228,000 jobs. "Neither global head- winds, financial turbu- lence nor political uncer- tainty has dimmed Amer- ican business' enthusiasm for hiring," said Sal Guat- ieri, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. "The solid jobs report should al- lay recession fears." Worker pay did slip last month after having picked up in January. But more Americans who had been sitting on the sidelines be- gan searching for jobs last month and found them. Employers expect solid consumer demand in the months ahead even though the stock market has turned turbulent, oil prices have hurt energy industry jobs and a stronger dollar has reduced export sales. Stock trading opened slightly lower after the jobs report was released. Some economists also suggested that the jobs re- port created a path for the Fed to raise interest rates again as early as June, ac- cording to many econo- mists. The Fed raised rates from record lows in Decem- ber. Low unemployment has historically caused the Fed to raise its benchmark rate for short-term lending. But Fed officials have held off after the December increase because of concerns about subpar inflation and the weak global economy. "It's probably a better than a 50 percent proposi- tion that they will raise the rates in June," said Kevin Logan, chief U.S. economist at the bank HSBC. Retailers added 54,900 jobs last month. Restau- rants and bars added 40,200, the health care sec- tor 38,100 and construction companies 19,000. Hiring by employers that are directly associated with consumers has more than offset layoffs at man- ufacturers and fossil fuel companies — two sectors squeezed by the pressures of uncertainty in China, sluggishness in Europe, declining oil prices and a stronger dollar. Job losses for the min- ing sector — an area that includes the battered en- ergy industry — have to- taled 140,400 in the past 12 months. And manufactur- ing has added just 12,000 jobs over that time. Consumers have pro- vided the foundation for much of the job market's improvement in what's be- come something of a self- sustaining cycle. The nearly 2.7 million workers who have been added over the past 12 months have bol- stered spending on autos, housing and meals out. With unemployment re- maining low, economists say more companies should begin to raise pay to attract workers, thereby fueling more hiring and increasing people's ability to spend, in- vest and save. For years, one of the key weaknesses of the economic recovery has been tepid pay growth. Many of the jobs created in the wake of the Great Recession were in lower-paid occupations — from cashiers, waiters and store clerks to home health aides and temporary work- ers. But in recent months, wage gains began to tick upward. The increases bol- stered hopes that employ- ers were raising pay to keep workers. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have risen 2.2 per- cent, compared with an an- nual increase of 1.9 percent a year ago. Yet between January and February, earnings fell slightly in a setback for workers hoping for further gains. Economists were search- ing for explanations be- cause wages had be- gun picking up in recent months. Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, noted that wages might have slipped last month because the survey for the jobs re- port occurred before Feb. 15, which is often a payday for people who are paid semimonthly. Wage growth is often tepid when the jobs report survey week doesn't include the 15th of the month, Shep- herdson noted. Still, steady hiring in re- cent months has translated into more consumer spend- ing in several key sectors. Auto sales rose 7 percent over last February to 1.3 million vehicles, according to Autodata Corp.
