The US unemployment rate stayed at 9.7%, but the government’s monthly jobs report on Friday showed fewer jobs lost in February than economists had expected, so Wall Street took that as good news and boosted stock prices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 122 points, or 1.2%, to 10,566. Broadcasting stocks joined in the advance.
The RBR Radio Index was up 5.738, or 2.4%, to 250.117, a year-to-date high.
The TVBR Television Index was up 1.643, or 1.1%, to 153.598, an all-time high.
