U.S. government bond prices fell Friday, pushing yields higher, after the latest jobs numbers suggested that there remains substantial demand for workers despite some recent signs of a weakening economy.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note settled at 3.382%, according to Tradeweb, compared with 3.318% just before the report was released and 3.288% Thursday.
