Difference. Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley it is now the trump economy, and the numbers out today show that the recovery that began eight years ago is continuing on his watch. In february, President Trumps first full month on the job, the economy created 235,000 jobs, and the Unemployment Rate ticked down to 4. 7 . All the more impressive if you believe what candidate trump claimed the rate was just a year earlier. Dont believe those phony numbers when you hear 4. 9 and 5 unemployment. The numbers probably 28, 29, as high as 35, in fact, even heard recently 42 . Pelley well, today, the white house didnt think the numbers were phony, and we have more now from jim axelrod. Reporter they are hiring once again at quality controlled manufacturing, which supplies parts to the aerospace industry. He controls both of these machines. Reporter by the end of this month, chief operating officer rick urban will have increased his workforce by 12 this year, confident in what he sees as President Trumps more businessfriendly white house. Theres a lot of optimism and belief that we will be seeing it not only 2016 sphaen but the next few years, continuing to increase and bringing jobs and manufacturing back here to the u. S. That might have been outside of the u. S. In the past. Reporter urbans company is not alone, and the hirin hirs broad based. 132,000 Service Sector jobs, but also strong gains in construction and manufacturing. Were, you know, finally heading in the right direction. Reporter bank of americas ethan harris says another promising sign is the number of people who had stopped looking for work but have started again. Particularly people who are prime working age. Thats people who are 2554, are starting to come back into the job market and look for work. Thats a very important development. These people are the backbone of the job market. Reporter with the percentage of people either with a job or looking for one, the highest its been in a year, the table is now set for wage growth. Because thats the point where unemployments low enough, workers now getting some negotiating power, thats a sign of the final stage of healing in a recovering economy. Reporter so how far away are we from seeing wages that reflect a full economic recovery . Ethan harris says the low unemployment would have to continue for another couple of years. Pelley jim axelrod for us tonight, jim, thank you. Well, today makes six days of silence by President Trump on his claim that president obama tapped his phones in the latter days of the campaign. Mr. Trump has not left the white house, and twice this week, events scheduled to include reporters were closed at the last minute. Well, today, the press did get into an event, and heres what happened when they asked about the wiretap allegation. Thank you all very much. And were going to get to work, thank you. Mr. President no comment. Mr. Trumps staff has been work all week to explain why he has offered no proof for his allegation that mr. Obama is a bad or sick guy, who committed a crime equal to watergate. Now lets bring John Dickerson into the conversation, our cbs news political director. We find him at seal island, georgia, where hell be interviewing the speaker of the house for face the nation. John, today is the 50th day of mr. Trumps presidency. How would you assess it so far . Well, donald trump has done a lot of the things that a president can do with executive order and executive action but hes now engaged in a new part of his presidency. He has to market a piece of legislation, one he didnt entirely have a hand in building, the American Health care act. And this is an imperfect piece of legislation, and its the kind of thing as a candidate he might have railed against, but now, hes got to convince a lot of inexperienced lawmakers some of whom are as inexperienced as he is who have been in the minority, not in the majority, to rally around a piece of legislation, not just rally around donald trump. Pelley now, the president , of course, has said an awful lot of controversial things since his inauguration, but the allegation last weekend that president obama wire tapped his phones had a different impact. Why is that . Well, in previous times, when donald trump has said incendiary things on twitter, hes been fact checked. Theres been some outcry, but then the story kind of moves on. But with these tweets about president obama wiretapping trump tower, he has embedded this claim now in a congressional inquiry. The house and Senate Intelligence committees are now looking at this information. This is an incredibly incendiary charge, and the two committees will render a verdict on whether the charge has any merit or not but they will also be rendering a verdict on president ial. We will know whether donald trump took the insyndary charge and put the full weight of the presidency behind tbased on actual action. Pelley well be watching on faips the nation on sunday. Dirk thank you. Today, the top general in the marine corps did not height hyde his disgust in the scandal over nude photographs of female Service Members that had been post online without their permission. David martin has the latest. Reporter the commandant of the marine corps canceled an overseas trip to deal with the nude photosharing scandal which he called a threat to his service. These allegations themselves, they undermine everything that we stand for as a marine corps and as marines discipline, honor, professionalism, and respect and trust amongst each other. Reporter general Robert Neller said so far fewer than 10 women have identified themselves as victims of the photo sharing, and he pleaded for more to come forward. I know its a stretch for me to ask them at this time, but i want to believe that they believe that were going to do all we can to get to the bottom of this, and i need their help. Reporter another victim is thomas brennan, a former marine turned journalist, who first exposed marines united, and is now the subject of death threats, as well as a 500 reward for nude pictures of his wife. Hes been threatened, which i find as disgusting and as sick as any of some of this other stuff. Reporter although marines united has been shut down, other sights, like marines united 2 important, is keep cropping up, vowing to continue the photo sharing. Weve been fighting for 15 years, you know, men and women, side by side, so what do you got to do to get in . What do you got to do to get in . I mean, come on, guys. Reporter the chiefs of the army, navy, and air force will likely be asking the same question, because the investigation has now spread to all branches of the military. Scott. Pelley david martin at the pentagon tonight. Dairvegd thank you.

Ireland dropped 32, and mexico is down 23 . A notable exception travel searches from russia jumped 54 . Is there a metric to how many of those turn into actual purchases .
