Season 2011 Episode 630

The February jobs report held good news Friday, with the unemployment rate falling to 8.9 percent. We ask analysts for what the labor data mean for the wider recovery. Then, a look at what the U.S. should -- or shouldn't -- do on the Libya crisis; Paul Solman travels to Rhode Island for a report on the state's public pension woes; and the analysis of Mark Shields and David Brooks.
