U.S. employers added 200,000 jobs in January, beating expectations for an increase of 180,000 jobs after December’s lower-than-expected reading.

The unemployment rate remained steady at 4.1%, the lowest rate in more than 17 years, while the labor force participation rate remained at 62.7% for the fourth month in a row. Average hourly earnings meanwhile rose 9 cents to $26.74. Over the course of the year, wages increased by 2.9%, or 75 cents.
