Data compiled by Bloomberg show that the S&P 500 is trading at 12.9 times profit in the last year, in February of last year the S&P 500 was trading at 15.9 times. On Friday, the S&P 500 saw their largest decline since November. The Labor Department reported Friday that the unemployment rate grew to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent, and employers in the U.S. added only 69,000 jobs, the lowest total in a year. The S&P 500 has fallen almost 10 percent, from its four year high in April, in the last week.
