US job growth probably lumbered along in September as the unemployment rate held at an almost four-year high, extending a sluggish period for the labor market.

Economists project 50,000 jobs were added, based on the median of a Bloomberg survey. That would be in line with the average from the past three months. The jobless rate is seen steady at 4.3%.
