The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell another 130.55 points Monday to close at 12,929.59 while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 lost 33.42 points and 15.88 points, respectively.
Investors were clearly unimpressed by last week’s jobs report. The Labor Department on Friday said employers added another 120,000 jobs in March, good enough to push the nation’s overall unemployment rate down to 8.2% but still well below the 203,000 new jobs most pundits had forecast.
