US stocks edged higher on Tuesday, after lower than expected September job figures from the Department of Labor.The agency’s report shows the US created 148 thousand new, non-farm jobs in September, which brought the country’s unemployment rate to 7.2 %, down by 0.1 percent from the previous month. The Dow ended up 0.49 percent. The Nasdaq by 0.24 percent, and the S&P 500 closed 0.57 higher. Analysts say US’s employment was NOT growing as fast as expected, so they believe the Federal Reserve is unlikely to taper its 85-billion-dollar monthly purchase by the end of the year.
