Major U.S. stock-indexes in positive area on Friday, as U.S. job growth surged more than expected in January as construction firms and retailers ramped up hiring, which likely gives the Trump administration a head start as it seeks to boost the economy and employment. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 227 000 jobs last month, the largest gain in four months, the Labor Department said on Friday. But the unemployment rate rose one-tenth of a percentage point to 4,8% and wages rose only by three cents, suggesting that there was still some slack in the labor market.
Most of Dow stocks in positive area (21 of 30). Top loser - Intel Corporation (INTC, -0.42%). Top gainer - Visa Inc. (V, +5.01%).
All S&P sectors in positive area. Top gainer - Financials (+1.6%).
