223,000 new jobs were added to the US economy in December, and unemployment rate was 3.5%

The government’s monthly jobs report released Friday showed 223,000 new jobs were added to the U.S. economy in December, and the unemployment rate was 3.5%. That’s a solid report, but Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC Financial Services, says the job market will deflate later this year. Faucher is forecasting a mild recession to take hold later this year.
