US STOCKS SNAPSHOT-Weak jobs data sinks Wall Street
NEW YORK, July 2 (Reuters) - U.S stocks tumbled on Thursday after a larger-than-expected slide in June non-farm payrolls signaled that hopes for a quick economic recovery may prove premature.
Due to a glitch in the New York Stock Exchange's system, trading was extended 15 minutes beyond the traditional closing time of 4 p.m. (2000 GMT) to ensure all trading orders were executed.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI dropped 223.32 points, or 2.63 percent, to close unofficially at 8,280.74. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX fell 26.87 points, or 2.91 percent, to 896.46. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC lost 49.20 points, or 2.67 percent, to 1,796.52. (Reporting by Rodrigo Campos; Editing by Jan Paschal)
