NEW YORK (AP) - Broad-based gains in employment sent stocks higher Friday, with the Dow Jones industrials gaining more than 104 points as investors regained some confidence in the economy. However, interest rate concerns remain, and the markets finished mixed for the week.

Average wages rose just 0.3 percent, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.8 percent from 4.7 percent in January.See the full content of this document
