The fact that there are FEWER stores didn't have anything to do with it, did it?

(Reuters) - The number of people working in the United States likely fell in February as winter storms that pounded parts of the country kept some workers at home but a swift recovery is expected in March.
It will be swift! That's a relief! It was all the weather's fault!
