The US jobs market has now added jobs for a record 100 months in a row – shaking off last month’s government shutdown to add 304,000 jobs over January.
The streak of job creation began in October 2010 and is more than twice as long as the previous record breaking run of 48 months that ended in June 1990.
In January the unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 4% and is now close to lows unseen since the 1960s.
