U.S. job growth accelerated in May and wages picked up, signs of momentum in the economy that could put a September interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve back on the table. Nonfarm payrolls increased 280,000 last month, the largest gain since December according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate rose to 5.5 percent from a near seven-year low of 5.4 percent in April that was because more people, likely new college graduates, entered the labor force. Payrolls for March and April were revised to show 32,000 more jobs created than previously reported. That together with an eight cent gain in average hourly earnings suggest a September rate hike is now a possibillity.

European stocks are lower and Asian markets ended mostly lower.

The national average price of gasoline is down one-tenth of a cent at $2.758 per gallon.
