February NFP = 227K

Here are the numbers: Unemployment remains at 8.3%. Private payrolls increased by 233,000 last month. January’s NFP was revised to 284,000 from 243,000. December was revised higher by 20,000 to 223,000.

My prediction of 300,000 NFP was over-optimistic but if we include revisions for December and January, then total NFP increased by 288,000.
