Fewer Jobs Added; Jobless Rate Climbs
By JEANNINE AVERSA
WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's unemployment rate climbed to a four-month high of 4.6 percent as somewhat wary employers added fewer new jobs in January. Wage gains were more modest.
The newest report on the economy, released Friday by the Labor Department, suggested that the jobs market got off to a slower start in 2007 yet still remains in decent shape. The more subdued job growth - 111,000 positions - is consistent with the expectation that growth in the economy as a whole will moderate this year.
