U.S. stock indexes opened higher on Friday (Sept. 2) after data showed stronger-than-expected jobs growth in August, but cooling wage increases and a rise in the unemployment rate eased some concerns about inflation.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 192.08 points, or 0.61 percent, at the open to 31,848.50.
The S&P 500 opened higher by 27.81 points, or 0.70 percent, at 3,994.66, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 114.01 points, or 0.97 percent, to 11,899.14 at the opening bell.
