The headline says it all, but again these numbers get revised in the future.  There were downward revisions of ~50K combined to the previous two months.

Workweek fell 0.1 hours.

Labor force participation rate actually increased by 0.2%, contributing to the increase in the unemployment rate.

1.46% on the 10 year treasury – amazing.

Futures also fell even further.  Oil drops below $84.  Going to be a fun day.
