Breaking News: US Nonfarm Payrolls Down

The Labor Department releases economic data
US nonfarm payrolls are down, reports the Labor Department. And they are down more than expected. This means that it is possible that we will see some slowing in the stock market rally the US has been enjoying. Marketwatch reports on US nonfarm payrolls:

The economy lost 80,000 nonfarm payroll jobs last month, according to a survey of business establishments, about the same as the 76,000 lost in February and more than the 60,000 expected to be lost by economists surveyed by MarketWatch.
