The Closing Bell U.S. Stocks Surge After June Jobs Report
FYI: U.S. stocks rallied Friday as investors welcomed a surprisingly strong employment report, showing 287,000 jobs were created in June. The jobs gain in June was the largest increase since last fall and offers some reassurance that the economy has rebounded after a trend of weak labor-market reports. Economists had been expecting 170,000 new jobs, according to an average of estimates from economists polled by MarketWatch.
