flying and staying at hotels.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, data and other developments suggest the broader economy is poised to give the jobs market some help.<\/p>\n<p>US household incomes rose 10 percent in January- the second-biggest jump on record \u2013 thanks in large part to the $900,000 round of virus relief aid that Congress passed in December.<\/p>\n<p>That contributed to a surge in retail sales in January \u2013 crucial for the health of the economy because roughly two-thirds of US growth is driven by consumer spending.<\/p>\n<p>And another economic boost is almost surely in the cards, as President Joe Biden\u2019s proposed stimulus package winds its way through Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The US Senate is set to start debating the $1.9 trillion coronavirus aid bill on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States economy added 379,000 jobs in February, the US Bureau of Labor
