US Job Growth Seen Moderating After Robust January

US payrolls growth probably settled back in February after the strongest month of hiring in a year, returning to a more moderate and likely sustainable pace of hiring.

Economists project 60,000 jobs were added for the month — less than half the number created at the start of the year, according the median of a Bloomberg survey ahead of Friday’s report. The jobless rate is seen holding steady at 4.3%.
