US adds 51,000 jobs in Sept
Afp, Washington
US employers added 51,000 jobs in September, the weakest payroll growth in a year, in a further sign of cooling economic growth, the Labor Department said Friday. The unemployment rate meanwhile, based on a separate survey, fell to 4.6 percent last month from 4.7 percent in August. The growth in payrolls, seen as one of the best indicators of economic momentum, was far weaker than the 120,000 new jobs expected by Wall Street analysts. It was also the lowest growth since October 2005.
