Daily Small Cap Market News and Stock Highlights from SmallCapVoice.com

Stocks are sharply higher following better than expected November employment data

Stock prices are surging in early trading after the government said the nation's jobless rate dropped to 10 percent in November and far fewer jobs were lost.

 

The Labor Department says the economy shed 11,000 jobs last month, an improvement from October's revised total of 111,000. That's also much better than the 130,000 job losses that Wall Street economists expected.

 

The unemployment rate fell to 10 percent from 10.2 percent in October, where economists expected it to remain at a 26-year high.

 

But many analysts still expect the jobless rate to keep climbing into next year.

 

The Dow Jones industrial average is up 103.31, or 1 percent, at 10,449.46. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is up 12.19, or 1.1 percent, at 1,112.11. The Nasdaq composite index is up 30.75, or 1.4 percent, at 2,203.89.
