Dow Ends Week Down 211

US stocks closed sharply lower after a weak jobs report cast doubt on the strength of the US economy. Technology stocks were especially hard hit, leading a broad decline Friday that included all sectors except utilities. Other big losers were energy and consumer discretionary stocks, down because oil prices fell and further concern that the risk of the US economy slipping into recession, while low, is growing. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 211 points, or 1.3%, to close at 16,204. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 35 points, or 1.9%, to close at 1,880. The Nasdaq composite fell 146 points, or 3.2%, to close at 4,363. (More Dow Jones stories.)
