US companies created fewer jobs than expected in September, while the unemployment rate fell further.
The U.S. Labor Department said they were created in the U.S. last month 148 thousand jobs, less than the 180 expected by analysts.
As for the unemployment rate, dropped to 7,2%, while economists had forecast a zero change at 7,3%.
The publication of the data, which usually takes place on the first Friday of the month, has been postponed to today due to the "shutdown", the paralysis of the American federal agencies, which ended in the night between 16 and 17 October with the agreement between Democrats and Republicans on the budget.
