News Wrap: February jobs report shows strongest U.S. hiring since 2016

In our news wrap Friday, the latest jobs report showed the strongest pace of hiring since 2016. The Labor Department said employers added a net 273,000 jobs in February, and the unemployment rate matched a 50-year low of 3.5 percent. Also, Democrats on the House Transportation Committee accused aviation giant Boeing of a “culture of concealment” they said contributed to two deadly jet crashes.
