By Pedro da Costa and Ann Saphir OXFORD, Miss./LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Despite signs of improvement in the U.S. labor market, there is plenty of room for the jobless rate to fall further, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and two other top policymakers said on Friday, in comments that suggested continued support for the U.S. central bank's massive stimulus program. The three spoke at separate events on the same day that the U.S. Labor Department reported surprisingly strong jobs growth in October, though they all cautioned about drawing conclusions from economic data. Bernanke said he still sees an "awful lot of slack" in the labor market, while saying that economic data does not do a good job of providing an accurate measure. Bernanke was not specifically referring to the latest employment report, which showed the unemployment rate rose to 7.3 percent in October while employers added 204,000 jobs, well above what economists had expected.
