Daily Digit: 48,000 Construction Jobs
The Daily Digit is 48,000. That's how many new construction jobs were created in February, according to the U.S. Labor Department. The big spike comes from the turnaround in the housing market and rebuilding on the East Coast after the destruction by Superstorm Sandy in late October. Aneta Markowska, senior U.S. economist at Societe Generale, says the fat number doesn't surprise her.
