Wall Street extends losses, Nasdaq down 2 percent


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks extended declines on Friday, with the Nasdaq dropping 2 percent after a weaker-than-expected jobs report cast doubts on the strength of an economic recovery.

    The S&P 500 energy sector fell 2 percent as U.S. crude oil fell below $100 a barrel.

    The Dow Jones industrial average slid 158.63 points, or 1.20 percent, at 13,047.96. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 20.49 points, or 1.47 percent, at 1,371.08. The Nasdaq Composite Index tumbled 60.39 points, or 2.00 percent, at 2,963.91.
