U.S. stocks closed lower for the week after the Labor Department said 115,000 jobs were added to the economy in April, far fewer than expected. Although the department revised its job-gains estimate for March from 120,000 to 154,000, the report was seen as evidence that a recovery in the labor market had stalled. By close of trading on Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average shed 168.32 points, 1.27 percent, to 13,038.27. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index lost 67.96 points, 2.25 percent, to 2,956.34. The Standard & Poor\'s 500 index lost 22.47 points, 1.61 percent, to 1,369.10. The DJIA opened the week at 13,228.31 points. The Nasdaq index opened Monday at 3,069.20. The S&P 500 opened Monday at 1,302.36. On the New York Stock Exchange, 759 stocks advanced and 2,286 declined on a volume of 3.9 billion shares traded. The 10-year benchmark treasury note was yielding 1.886 percent.
