(Reuters) - U.S. stocks were little changed on Friday, and the benchmark S&P 500 was on pace for its first weekly drop in five, following a weak payrolls report that reassured investors the Federal Reserve wouldn't speed up plans to hike interest rates.
Stock index futures pared losses after the release of the employment report, which showed nonfarm payrolls rose 142,000 in August, the smallest increase in eight months, while the unemployment rate slipped to 6.1 percent as people dropped out of the labor force.
The soft jobs report doused worries that the Fed might consider moving up plans for an interest rate hike at its next meeting in mid-September after a recent flurry of economic data pointed to a strengthening economy.

U.S. Economy Adds 142,000 Jobs in August, Widely Missing Views

The U.S. economy added just 142,000 jobs in August, far below expectations as major sectors such as manufacturing, retail and transportation saw weak job creation.
The unemployment rate fell by 0.01 percentage point to 6.1%, according to figures released Friday by the U.S. Labor Department.
Analysts had predicted 225,000 new jobs and that the unemployment rate would drop slightly from its 6.2% level a month ago.
Meanwhile, the labor force participation rate also fell to 62.8% in August, from 62.9% in July, another disappointment. The Labor Department also said job creation in June and July was 28,000 lower than initially reported.

Even if your spin were, in fact, the truth why would you act so celebratory? Are you for or against America and, giving you the benefit of the doubt, why would you seem so gleeful if this is the dire job creation you portray? Unless I am misrepresenting your view you seem overjoyed that America's economic rebound hit a bump in the road . . . . again, if true, why would you be so fucking gleeful?? Are you the Commie among us that wants America to fail?

I, of course, know and understand the answer and it is that we have sadly lost the collective ability to all be Americans and to all be pulling for America; instead, we bury ourselves within the cocoon of partisanship digging away endlessly trying to portray a point-of-view we believe to be honorable. Our country has many challenges and the rabid coarseness of debate on this forum reveals to me one of our biggest challenges . . . . . the ability to do what is best for our nation and its people.
America will prevail in the end!

I imagine it has something to do with the topic posted. The fact is the expected numbers fall short of the predictions.

I do understand that . . . . what I fail to understand is the gleeful nature of the messenger and that sounds pathetically partisan and anti American at the very least. It is without question politics before patriotism . . . .
