U.S. unemployment unchanged at 8.3 percent in February

U.S. employers added 227,000 jobs in February to complete three of the
best months of hiring since the recession began. The unemployment rate
was unchanged, largely because more people streamed into the work
force.

The Labor Department said Friday that the unemployment rate stayed at
8.3 percent last month, the lowest in three years.

And hiring in January and December was better than first thought. The
government revised those figures to show 61,000 an additional jobs.
