From the article:
The payroll numbers slightly beat Wall Street forecasts of 210,000 jobs, confirming that the hiring jumps in recent months were not flukes. The January jobs numbers also were revised upward to 284,000 from 243,000, while the December results were increased to 223,000 from 203,000.
