Market cools as number of jobs added comes in lower than the 180,000 that economists had been expecting

Economists had been expecting the US to add 180,000 jobs over the month. The pace of job growth slowed sharply from September when the economy added a revised 297,000 – a still impressive figure and far higher than had been expected.
