NPR's U has details on the Labor Department's monthly employment report on how the jobs market fared in August. It might sound counter-intuive but investors have been hoping a weaker job report. That might push the Federal Reserve to delay raising interest rates when it means later this month. Instead the August jobs report came in on the weak side but not weak enough to make the rate hike less likely. Payrolls increased by 173000 which is below what economists expected. But that was also set by a big upward revision to July's hiring numbers. Meanwhile, the employment rate dropped to 5.1 percent which is in the range what the Fed considers full employment. Before the closing bell, Dow was down 273 points, more than 1.5 percent at 16102. Law enforcement officials are mourning a fallen officer today.

State district judge K held MA in contempt for failing to come up with an acceptable plan to pay 75 million dollars in back-pain and pension benefits to firefighters as ordered a year ago. This comes after the judge rejected the city's proposal which called for payouts over 30 years and included pension concessions. L said a one-time payoff would cripple the city.'Before I lay off firefighters, police and sitting employees, I'm prepared to stay under house arrest for the next two years of my term.'Foreigners say 30 years is too long to wait.
