Friday Flashback: Job numbers, unemployment rate and more

A break in the gridlock on Capitol Hill, some big economic news, and the anniversary of a cultural milestone. Time for our weekly review of the news, The Friday Flashback.

Here with us in the studio, James Rainey, political columnist for the LA Times and from Washington, Nancy Cook, economic and fiscal policy correspondent for The National Journal.

We discuss the new job numbers report, which says we've hit the lowest unemployment rate in four years and we've added 236,000 new jobs in February.
