Stock Market Today: Dow Falls After Weak Jobs Report - Barron's

The stock market was falling on Friday as investors digested the November jobs report.

The labor market is stronger than the headline result would suggest, making the Federal Reserve more likely to act more hastily in removing monetary support from the markets and the economy.  .

In morning trading, the Dow fell 236 points, or 0.7%, one day after the blue-chip benchmark rallied 617 points.
