Coronavirus or no coronavirus, President Trump’s economy weathered the storm in February and remained strong, as proven by data released by the Labor Department on Friday, showing the nation added 273,000 new jobs in February and the unemployment rate was an astonishingly low 3.5%, the lowest level in over 50 years.

CNBC noted, “The January and February gains tied for best month since May 2018. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for payroll growth of 175,000 and a 3.5% jobless level.”
