(RTTNews) - A closely watched report released by the Labor Department on Friday showed employment in the U.S. jumped by much more than expected in the month of February. The stronger than expected job growth reflected notable increases in employment in the leisure and hospitality, retail, government, and healthcare sectors. "The upshot is that it looks like the 25bp/50bp debate surrounding the rate hike decision later this month will come down to February's CPI report, due next Tuesday," said Paul Ashworth, Chief North America Economist at Capital Economics.
