NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- U.S. stocks were headed for a sharp sell-off at Friday's open, following a weak report from the government showing a disappointing slowdown in job growth.
Dow Jones industrial average (INDU), S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq (COMP) futures were more than 1% lower ahead of the opening bell. Futures measure current index values against perceived future performance.
Over the last few months, signs of a stalling recovery have been building, with stocks delivering their worst monthly performance in May since August 2010.
The government's May jobs report only exacerbated those worries.
"The labor market is sick -- it's horrible," said John Lonski, chief economist for Moody's.
Employers added a mere 54,000 jobs last month, down from a downwardly revised 232,000 in the previous month. The unemployment rate nudged up to 9.1%.

i used to not check, but over the past year or so i made some moves to protect against the market decline, so i check every now again see what's what. things are different than they used to be in my opinion. moves need to be made to make the dollars

[Willie99]

Positive words about economy equals fake economists total and complete fabrication on your part

Positive words about obama equals liberal media if it looks like a duck walks like a duck and talks like a duck, well

Positive polls for obama equals bias polling. you're the only one that calls reputable national organizations biased as you cite polls done by democratic operatives. You should be the last person to go down this path. You are that guy


Positive job numbers equals manipulated numbers another lie


U see a trend here? yes, you get an awful lot of things wrong

why is re-election the most important thing for you? right now he's a near lock to be re-elected but there's far more pressing matters for him to deal with. I realize he's a hell of a campaigner and that he'd like to play to his strengths but at what expense?

is almost like me parading how Nick Saban will get another year to coach even if Bama finishes 3-8...

Re-election is the most important thing right now for me. If repubs have control of congress(which may very well happen) and the white house we are headed down another destructive path. Whenever repubs have all that control the country is much worse off. I don't think the country can survive another 6 years like 2000-2006. Look at the aftermath of that admin and 6 years of repub control. Don't pick out the early years like willie. Look at the finished product.

I guess I will take a 3-8 nick saban over an 0-11 joe paterno. That's the way I see it. I've said before obama not God or anything like that but I still believe him to be a better alternative then any repub
