Michelle Wright: A Labor 1 Department report out today reveals that U. S. employers added a smaller than forecasted 193, 000 new jobs in January. Despite that , Labor Secretary Elaine Chao says this report is strong.
Elaine Chao: Well, I think today's report shows that the fundamentals of our economy are strong. And as president noted 2 in his State of the Union address, we are seeing broad-based job growth.
Michelle Wright: And with that job growth Manpower Inc. 's Jeffrey Joerres says we could start to see wages improve.
Jeffrey Joerres: When you see, you know, the food and beverage 3 industry add 31, 000 jobs, those would be traditionally not paying as much as, as manufacturing. But at 4. 7% unemployment you're gonna start to see a little bit of wage creep. But I think that will help the, the person on the street looking for a job.
Michelle Wright: Economists 4 had forecasted that 240, 000 new jobs would be created in January.

Michelle Wright: A new study shows that recent design changes made in SUVs and pick-up trucks have reduced sharply the number of car driver deaths.
