Labor Department

The U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs in February.

204,000 jobs were added, while the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.3 percent in the Labor Department's employment report for October.

The delayed October jobs report is out today, to be followed sooner than usual by the November report.

We lost two weeks of government data — data that let economists know what to study and data that helps farmers know what to plant.

There's a good chance the government won't release monthly jobs numbers this Friday — so what happens to economists’ ability to assess any recovery?

Labor Secretary Tom Perez explains how he hopes to push unemployment down and economic growth up.

There may be more jobs out there, but many people are looking for full-time work, when all there is, is part-time.

Part-time workers dampen the otherwise good numbers in the Labor Department's monthly jobs snapshot.

Job openings jumped to a four-year high in June: 3.7 million. Seems strange, considering we learned less than a week ago that the country has an 8.3 percent unemployment rate right now.

The July jobs report from the Labor Department is out. Last month, unemployment rose from 8.2 to 8.3 percent, while 163,000 jobs were added — the most in five months.
