U.S. Labor Market Contracts as Economy Loses 92,000 Jobs
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, a surprising contraction that has renewed concerns about the strength of the labor market.
New data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed payrolls shrinking instead of growing, missing economists’ expectations that roughly 50,000 jobs would be added.
The BLS also revised earlier employment figures downward. January job growth was adjusted to 126,000 from the previously reported 130,000, while December’s figure was revised to show a loss of 17,000 jobs after earlier estimates suggested growth.
Despite the decline in payrolls, the unemployment rate held relatively steady at 4.4%, slightly above January’s 4.3% rate.
Several sectors showed weakness in February. The information technology industry, transportation and warehousing, and federal government employment all recorded declines. Health care jobs also dropped sharply, largely because of a major strike at Kaiser Permanente that temporarily removed about 31,000 workers from payrolls.
Other sectors — including oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, retail, and financial services — showed little change during the month.
Economists say the broader U.S. economy has produced mixed signals in recent months, with uncertainty tied to a government shutdown and questions surrounding the Trump administration’s tariff policies.
Financial markets reacted quickly to the report. U.S. government bond yields fell after the release, while stock futures declined as investors reassessed the economic outlook.

A photo of Donald Trump walking across the South Lawn as he returns to the White House on March 1, 2026, in Washington, D.C., overlaid with the headline, "The Regime Change President Who Won’t (or Can’t) Actually Change Any Regimes," and the DEK, "The Iran war shows that Trump is loving his military interventions — but they are never what he claims them to be."
Instead of articulating any reasoning or goals for his strikes, Trump declared a decapitation strategy and exhorted the people of Iran to rise up and “take control” of the government: DIY regime change. theintercept.com/2026/03/02/t...

We were in talks with Japan when they did Pearl Harbor, I guess Iran feels the same way we did.

Iran Security Chief Rejects Trump Talks After Khamenei Death
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Iran’s top security official publicly rejected claims of renewed diplomacy with the United States as military tensions intensified across the region following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, wrote on X on March 2, “We will not negotiate with the United States,” directly contradicting President Donald Trump’s statement that talks were imminent. Trump told reporters, “They want to talk, and I have agreed to talk, so I will be talking to them,” after a temporary Iranian leadership council led by President Masoud Pezeshkian assumed duties.
Larijani sharply criticized Trump, accusing him of plunging the region into chaos with “delusional fantasies” and expressing concern about further American casualties. “Today the Iranian nation is defending itself,” he wrote.
The diplomatic clash comes as U.S. air and naval operations tied to Israeli strikes continue. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine are scheduled to brief reporters Monday, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliffe expected to join Tuesday. Three U.S. service members have been confirmed killed and five wounded in recent operations.
International bodies, including the United Nations and the World Health Organization, have called for de-escalation as civilian risks increase.
