January job losses show two million fewer employed
Washington report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics notes 47.7 million Americans at work in January, down 2.0 million from December. Seasonal factors partly explain the drop, yet factory payrolls fell 300,000 and layoffs hit primary metals machinery and ordnance. Nonfarm employment remains the January high except for last year, while nonmanufacturing jobs rose to a record for January.
