US economy generated 160K jobs in Feb, but Trump's trade wars cloud outlook

Quick Summary:

The US labour market likely kept on churning out jobs last month, economists say, but the outlook is cloudy and getting cloudier as the Trump administration wages trade wars, purges federal employees and seeks to deport millions of immigrants.

When the Labour Department releases February jobs numbers Friday, they're expected to show that employers added 160,000 jobs.

Billionaire Elon Musk's purge of federal workers is not expected to have much impact on the February jobs numbers.
