#1 BLS data is available here.

Interestingly, job numbers for the previous two months was revised upward. Also, average wage per hour is up about 3% in past 12 months. Finally (a separate report) inflation in the past 12 months is a modest 2.5%

March will be a challenge. Probably little if any job growth but also the inflation rate will likely be lower (e.g., price of oil has gone down a lot since Feb).
