P.M. Edition for Mar. 6. The Labor Department said today that the U.S. lost 92,000 jobs in February—a greater drop than economists expected. WSJ economics reporter Justin Lahart discusses the sectors affected, and what this report means for the Federal Reserve. Plus, President Trump calls for “unconditional surrender” in Iran. And WSJ markets reporter Hannah Erin Lang says U.S. stocks dropped after the weak employment report, while oil prices continued their rise, notching their biggest weekly gain on record.
