January job numbers rose on manufacturing sector's strength
The U.S. economy added 304,000 jobs in January, according to new economic survey data.

John Yang talks to Neil Irwin of The New York Times and Danielle Paquette of The Washington Post about what the numbers mean and why manufacturing jobs are so important.
