Wall Street is heading for its worst week in 18 months after a weaker-than-expected jobs report on Friday stoked investor concerns about slowing U.S. economic growth.

The S&P 500 tumbled 1.6% in afternoon trading, putting it on pace for its worst week since March 2023. The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank 452 points, or 1.1%, as of 2:40 Eastern time after flipping an early gain of 250 points.
