European shares trimmed their gains slightly on Friday afternoon after U.S. jobs data in non-agricultural sectors, but decline in the rate of unemployment has contributed to support the market. And increased non-farm U.S. jobs by 36 thousand jobs, far less than 145 thousand jobs expected by economists.
In spite of the limited increase in jobs to a separate survey showed the unemployment rate dropped to its lowest level since April 2009.
By the time 1334 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 index of leading European shares was down 0.3 percent to 1165.91 points
