S&P 500 ends at record as [dismal] jobs report eases Fed worries

``U.S. stocks ended higher on Friday, lifting the S&P 500 to a fresh closing high, after a weaker-than-expected jobs report was taken as a sign that the Federal Reserve will not begin raising interest rates anytime soon.'' --- Of course, down is up, so this news is good for stocks! At any rate, the pressure on the Fed is clearly apparent here.

Since the article above lacks any data on the jobs report, here's one on that:

Employers added just 142,000 jobs last month, well below the 212,000 average of the previous 12 months. The unemployment rate fell to 6.1 percent from 6.2 percent. But that was because more people without jobs stopped looking for one and were no longer counted as unemployed.
