Dow Jones Hits Record Highs Record Week 2013 -
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 67.58 points to 14,397.07, another record closing high. The index surpassed its previous record close Tuesday and logged a sixth straight increase Friday.
U.S. employers added 236,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent from 7.9 percent in January, the Labor Department reported. That's far better than the 156,000 job gains and unemployment rate of 7.8 percent that economists surveyed by FactSet expected.
