The markets began to make a bit of a recovery this morning after a tough day on Wall Street yesterday, but pared those gains later in the day, despite a better than expected unemployment report.
The Labor Department is reporting a drop in jobless claims of 8,000 to a seasonally adjusted 355,000 in the previous week.
Meanwhile, the four-week moving average rose to 370,500.
