WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. jobless rate edged up in June and job losses mounted as weakness spread to the service sector of the economy, the government said on Friday in a report that cast a shadow on other recent upbeat data. Perhaps the most worrisome aspect of the report was the fact that weakness seen for months in the manufacturing sector seemed to have spread to the service segment of the economy, which has countered softness elsewhere in recent months.
