Wall Street shares - Lower in midsession after weak Nov job data

Share prices continued lower in midsession trade, as a weak employment report for November dashed hopes that an economic rebound is underway and offset a higher-than-expected US consumer confidence figure for December, dealers said.

At 12.05pm, the DJIA was down 62.14 points at 10,036.59. The S&P 500 was down 9.68 points at 1,157.42 and the Nasdaq composite was down 28.34 points at 2,025.93.
