Economists surveyed by MarketWatch predicted private employment would rise 115,000, while the federal government cut about 230,000 temporary census takers. Yields on 10-year notes (UST10Y 2.95, -0.01, -0.20%) , which move inversely to prices, fell 2 basis points to 2.94%. The euro (CUR_EURUSD 1.2596, +0.0079, +0.6312%) traded at $1.2574, compared to $1.2554 before the data and $1.2486 in North American trading late Thursday.
