The news was better on the unemployment front Friday, which translated into a more robust stock market.

Although the nation is on track toward 20 percent unemployment, a record number of new jobs in the nation was recorded in May, a signal that the economy is starting to reopen and those who have lost jobs in the pandemic are finding employment again. The Labor Department reported that 2.5 million new non-farm jobs were recorded last month.
