combined 85,000. And unemployment rate went a tick down from 3.6% to 3.5% But note that the jobs surveys (both the Establishment and the Household) were conducted in the week that contained the 12th -- before the coronavirus became much of a concern in the U.S.. And before the stock market began its descent -- the market indices all time high was set on the 19th.
