Unemployment and markets move on inflation fears
The Dow fell 128.38 to 10596.54 and Nasdaq dropped 111.09 to 3361.01 amid inflation fears. Black unemployment hit a record low of 7.0 percent in September while women’s rate stood at 3.5 percent. Total payrolls rose 252,000 in September, helped by service industries, but manufacturing job losses weighed on the report amid strike effects and energy cost pressures.
