Feb 7 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures slipped on

Friday as the January nonfarm payrolls number missed

expectations, while the numbers for December were revised

higher.

A Labor Department report showed the U.S. economy added

143,000 jobs in January, compared with economists' estimate of a

rise of 170,000.

The unemployment rate stood at 4%, compared with

expectations of 4.1%, while average earnings rose 0.5% on a

monthly basis against forecasts of 0.3% growth.

For December, the nonfarm payrolls number was revised to

307,000 from 256,000.

At 08:34 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were down 29 points,

or 0.06%, S&P 500 E-minis were down 7.5 points, or 0.12,

and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were down 45.25 points, or 0.21%.
