Investors sold off heavily for a second straight day after payroll figures showed employers added just 32,000 jobs last month, a number low enough to generate worries that a slowing in the economy in June may have been more just a brief pause. Economists had forecast the creation of roughly 243,000 jobs for July. Oil prices that continued to hover near $44 a barrel also triggered concerns among investors that inflation and slow job growth would interrupt the economic recovery for a sustained length of time.
