US STOCKS SNAPSHOT-Futures lower after March payrolls data
April 1 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures were lower on Friday after a non-farm payrolls report showed employers added more jobs than expected in March, a sign of economic resilience that could allow the Federal Reserve to gradually raise interest rates this year.
Nonfarm payrolls increased 215,000 last month, the Labor Department said.

* Dow e-minis were down 58 points, or 0.33 percent, with 38,949 contracts changing hands.
