Job growth falls to 20,000 in February

https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/08/economy/jobs-report-february/index.html

After a couple good months we fell off a cliff. 20K is really bad when 120K are needed just to keep pace with population growth.

I know that many people say morning news shows are some of the worst places to get news, but I find it interesting that the fact that the economy only added 20,000 jobs in February was not discussed more on morning news shows. This seems to be a big deal, especially since Donald Trump has been trying to claim he is doing a better job of running the economy than Barack Obama. This should have been all over the news yesterday and today. However, I have only seen this reported in print sources.
