that both exceeded expectations and eased fears of a labor market and economic slowdown. the dow jones industrial average soared 191 points to 18,543. not a rory, but the records were nasdaq up 54 and s&p 500, which gained 18. here are the numbers that sparked the rally. employers added 255,000 jobs, much better than the 179,000 economists expected the jobless rate held steady at 4.9% as more americans looked for work and wages picked up. we have two reporter tonight, hampton pearson on the best two-month stretch of hiring this year, but we begin bob pisani. >> it's been a broad rally. the s&p mid cap and small cap indices are at historic highs.

reme we didn't have far to go in the first place. the s&p 500 was never more than about 1% from an historic high in the past month, so in addition to the rally in a major indices, the rally is showing signs of classic rotation. in the last several week, technology and bio tech have been big market leaders. so names like microsoft have been str time, prior market leaders like utilities and telecom and consumer staples, they've been lagging. why the move up? today's job report is the immediate catalyst, but the rall di didn't start this morning. over hav okay. crude oil, which gave everyone a scare a week ago, is showing stability around $41 and third, there's a lot more talk of fiscal stimulus, not just monetary in the uk, europe and the u.s.

220,000 since the industry peaked two years ago. with job growth for the las three months averaging 190,000 per month, l it should be enough, if nothing goes wrong, s raising r september and again in december. >> the strong jobs rf sets concerns about overall weak economic growth and the brexit fallout on the a for nightly business report, i'm hampton pearson in washington. and joining us now for more on todayt is good to see you. here. rig word.for having m it was hard to find bad news. >> there were also some revisions as well. were the worries of earlier this

year that perhaps, we were headed towards another economic downturn? not well founded. >> after this month's report, last month's report and the revisions in both to earlier months, really looks like may was the an ration. when job creation basically came to a standstill. we got conn that there was strong forward momentum because jobs were created. we also found that we're not pushing as hard on resource slack because more than 400,000 people came back into the labor market and we got a pick up in average hourly earnings, so that implies that income's being created and it will be spent to nitpick here at all. but the growth in the construction and manufacturing sector was much smaller than it was in hospitality and ic

this is a political year. i can well imagine that critics of this report will say we replaced those goo manufacturing jobs with jobs at hardees and wendy's. what do you say to that? >> don't challenge an economist to nitpick because they can certainly do that. this is another chance we're creating jobs. they're not all good and we have some real challenges. moreover, we're starting the participation rate went up a tenth, but it's still lo and there's another worrisome thing about this employment report. if you thi over the last year, we've got about 1.7% increase in payroll employment. that's probably at the pace of real gdp growth. that means we've got no

productivity over the last year. report. the fed breathes a sigh of relief because the gains and payrolls suggest that there is a base for conti. i it validated something janet yellen has been talking about for a long time. lab ma hot, it can bring people back into the labor market. that 400,000 increases in particip and they have a runway because average earne only 2.6% year on. and some of that cost pressures are off set by lower . i think the fed takes this number and validates the case for policy in 2016. numr this strong, before tt tighten, but more like lie, they'll go once

in december. >> thank you very much. vince reinhardt. >> bristol myers squibb made a risky bet and lost. one of the company's most promising and best-selling cancer treatments failed in a trial for patients with the most common form of newly diagnosed lung cancer. bristol wanted this therapy to broaden oud and used a risky research strategy. that sent shares plumeting 16%, wiping out about $20 billion of bristol's market value, but this setback may not be as bad as it seem >> the save three trial failure is a blow to bristol myers squib and patients. still, some say things are aren't hopeless. >> i think bristol's down a little much. you would believe that the story today in long cancer for this

particular drug from bristol myers, would never again raise its head in lung cancer. that's to say there would be no hope for bristol myers to be in lung cancer in the future and my sense is that's probably incorrect. >> news was a win for merck, who's competing drug succeed ed in a son s w shooting for a home run. trying to use an already successful cancer drug the to take on lung cancer. one of the highest unmet needs of all cancers and at least one analysts estimates the market at $12 billion. it's also the most common cause of all cancer deaths. according to the national cancer institute, so bristol myers went for the broadest trial possible with a bigger risk of failure. >> i think they would have similar outcomes. the trial in lung cancer . the reason for that is simple. the drugs are extraordinarily

similar. almost identical. you would provide a high probability that bristol's success under that scenario would be possible. >> some traders urge investors not to give upton drug makers so quickly. so stock is totally overreacting short-term, this is still a very impressive growth story and it's now on sale, get a nice yield. i think by the way, you could own merck. you want to own them both. >> they're still testing in convention with the drug to type of s lung ca therapy could be a powerful weapon in future battle against lung cancer. >> it's been our view that combination therapy and lung canker will be the therapy of the fuchl and we're not quite her today. merck has some trials, but they're earlier in development. my sense is the markete d in fa. bristol seems to be in the lead

about the proble societ with international trade deals. you've got people like john paulson, harold hamm, steve moore, the conservative donald trump and have more meat on the policy bones, which trump is not yet provided in full detail. >> what do we know, you know, because he's going to give this economic policy speech on monday. he certainly has talke a lot about trade and jobs, but what can we pecht and do we know ou positions he's going to put forward on the economy? >> not in detail. but i think that we can expect he'll modify his when you look at what donald trump rolled out last year, it was a gar began cut. 15% rate of business income.

zero percent elimination of estate tax. now, his advisers have acknowledged that needs to shrink and we expect in the speech he's going to narrow it somewhat. so, maybe larry kudlow for example has said maybe it will be a $3 trillion addition to the deficit deficit. >> we'll know more on monday. still ahead, full time gamers, but don't just play those video games. create them. because that's what could land
