US employers unexpectedly cut jobs in February and the unemployment rate rose, raising doubts about the health of the labor market. Nonfarm payrolls decreased 92,000 last month after a strong start to the year, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data out Friday. The unemployment rate climbed to 4.4%. The decline in payrolls partly reflected a decrease in health care employment due to strike activity.

Nadia Lovell, Head of Global Equity Strategy at UBS Global Wealth Management
Jennifer Lee, Senior Economist at BMO Capital Markets
