News Wrap: February saw 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.
