The economy ended its streak of robust job creation in March, with employers adding a disappointing 126,000 jobs. It was far fewer than most people expected and broke a 12-month streak of 200,000-plus gains. Adding to the bad news, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised February\u2019s tally down to 264,000 from its original estimate of 295,000.<br \/>\nOn the plus side, the unemployment rate held steady at 5.5 percent, within the range of what the Federal Reserve considers \u201cnormal\u201d unemployment. In fact, unemployment approached what policymakers consider full employment, meaning that most people who want a job can find one. The last time the economy posted normal unemployment two months in a row was in 2008.<br \/>\nNot so fast, though: The unemployment rate may be normal by the Fed\u2019s definition, but the labor force has changed a lot in the past seven years.<br \/>\nLast month, 6.7 million Americans took part-time work because they couldn\u2019t find full-time jobs; that\u2019s a million more than in 2008. An additional 1.3 million had been unemployed for at least six months in March. And more people have dropped out of the job market completely \u2014 labor force participation was less than 63 percent in March compared with 66 percent seven years ago.<br \/>\nThe economy is still far from normal, no matter what the numbers say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The unemployment rate may be normal by the Fed\u2019s definition, but the labor force has changed
