After the release of the Labor Department's monthly jobs report showing robust job growth and a significant increase in hourly wages, Fox News framed the numbers negatively and suggested the headline was the fact that the unemployment rate ticked up. 

The U.S. added 257,000 jobs last month and has seen a significant increase in hourly wages, according to a February 6 report from the Labor Department. The last three months combined have resulted in the biggest gain in jobs in the past 17 years. 

Immediately after the numbers were released, Fox News' Fox & Friends hosts portrayed the news in a negative light. Host Elisabeth Hasselbeck introduced the segment saying, “Nicole Petallides from our sister network Fox Business has the numbers for you, beginning with an increase in the unemployment rate.” After listening to Petallides run through the positive numbers -- including her explanation that the increase in the unemployment rate is “great news” because it means more people are entering the workforce --  host Steve Doocy closed the segment saying, “So the headline is unemployment rate ticks up to 5.7” percent.
