In a clear sign that the economy is stalling, the Labor Department reported today that the nation's payrolls fell for a second straight month in December.

But the decline, which was largely concentrated in the retailing and manufacturing sectors, was not enough to move the unemployment rate, which remained unchanged at 6 percent.

Employers shed 101,000 jobs outside the farming sector in December, the department said, defying Wall Street's expectations for modest job growth. And the number of jobs lost in November was revised upward to 88,000, from a previously reported decline of 40,000.

The total number of unemployed people remained essentially flat at 8.6 million.
The job losses in December were the biggest in 10 months.

David Resler, chief economist at Nomura Securities International, called the statistics "profoundly disappointing."

Indeed, the report was so weak that Mr. Resler said he might be forced to reduce his projections for fourth-quarter economic growth. Up to now, he was forecasting a paltry increase of 0.5 percent.
