Happy March! The U.S. economy continues to grow although caution signs are now present with the discussions of higher tariffs and reductions in federal spending. Overall, the U.S. economy added 151,000 jobs in February from a revised 125,000 jobs added in January. And the U.S. unemployment rate increased to 4.1 percent in February from 4.0 percent in January. There is much we don’t know about the economic impact from tariffs, potential changes to tax policy, and reductions to federal spending, but there is also much to be hopeful for. As we enjoy these last few weeks in March before spring, I hope you have the opportunity to spend time with family and friends!
All the Best, Jon Gauthier, President, GWM
