(Reuters) - US employers added the fewest jobs in more than a year, in March, to raise concerns about the recent slowdown in economic growth and the delay could increase the expected rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
Non-farm payrolls rose by 126,000 last month, the smallest increase since December 2013 the Labor Department said Friday. The manufacturing sector, which was hurt by a strong dollar and oil prices, paid 13,000 jobs in March - the largest decline since May-2013.
The unemployment rate remained at a low over 6-1 / 2 years ago by 5.5 percent because people leave the workforce.
