Most of the drop in unemployment occurred because some people out of work found jobs, but others stopped looking for work and were no longer counted as unemployed. And without an increase of 80,000 temporary jobs, the economy would have posted a net loss for January. Still, more than 4 million Americans have lost jobs and stopped looking for work since the pandemic began.

Most of the worry seems to reflect investors' uncertainty about whether banks will have to set aside additional billions in the future.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Consumer banking giant Bank of America says third-quarter profit declined 15.6% from a year earlier, but saw less need to put aside money to cover potentially bad loans, citing improvements in the U.S. economy.

Because it is so consumer-focused, BofA is feeling the effects of the coronavirus pandemic more acutely than other major banks. The bank also revised down its outlook for the U.S. economy, following similar actions by other banks this week.
