Sandy 'likely put dent in' US jobs

The damage wrought by Sandy probably extended to the job market last month as the superstorm forced businesses to close, upending the recent pickup in US hiring, economists projected a report this week would show.

Payrolls rose by 90,000 workers last month, the smallest gain since June, according to the median forecast of 71 economists in a survey before labour department figures on Wednesday. Manufacturing and services grew at a slower pace, other reports might show.
