NEW YORK, May 6 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures added to their gains on Friday following a better-than-expected read on the labor market.
According to the closely watched non-farm payrolls report from the U.S. Labor Department, 244,000 jobs were added in April, far more than had been anticipated. However, the unemployment rate rose to 9 percent from 8.8 percent where analysts expected the rate to remain steady.
