发帖数: 10208 | 1 Employers added a disappointing 148,000 jobs in September, extending a
summer slowdown in payroll growth.
The unemployment rate fell to 7.2% from 7.3%, the Labor Department said
Tuesday.
The closely-watched survey was scheduled to be released Oct. 4, but was
delayed by the federal government shutdown.
Economists' consensus forecast had estimated that 180,000 jobs were added
last month.
Businesses added just 126,000 jobs, while federal, state and local
governments added 22,000. Professional and business services, transportation
and construction drove the private-sector payroll growth. | d**i
