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

Investors are cheering a government report that says employers cut fewer jobs than expected last month.

The Labor Department says 345,000 jobs were lost in May, significantly less than the half-million job losses economists had been expecting and the fewest job losses since September.

However, the unemployment rate surged to a slightly higher-than-expected 9.4 percent from 8.9 percent in April.

Still, investors are taking the slower pace of layoffs for a fourth month in a row as a sign that the labor market may be stabilizing.

In early trading, the Dow Jones industrial average is up 83 to 8,833. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is up 8 to 951, while the Nasdaq composite index is up 15 to 1,865.
