US: Hiring beats expectations in February, but trend weakened by wet weather
Severe winter weather looks to have less of a dampened effect on hiring by US companies than anticipated. Non-farm payroll rose 175,000 in February, against market expectations of a 149,000 rise. January's tally was increased from 113,000 to a slightly more respectable 129,000.
