The layoff report shows the four week moving average at 352 250 down 3 000 from the prior week. A Fed survey finds employment growing slowly in most regions while Greenspan remains hopeful hiring will pick up as demand rises. Economists expect February payrolls around 135 000, with a recovery still elusive. Productivity gains boosted hours and output in Q4, potentially enabling higher wages and eventual hiring.
