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.
