WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. employers added a surprisingly solid 119,000 jobs in September, the government said, issuing a key economic report that had been delayed for seven weeks by the federal government shutdown. The increase in payrolls was more than double the 50,000 economists had forecast. Yet there were some troubling details in the delayed report. Labor Department revisions showed that the economy lost 4,000 jobs in August instead of gaining 22,000 as originally reported.
