The job market continued to reel in October following the one-two punch that was Hurricane Katrina and high fuel prices, delivering half the job growth that was expected for the month, according to government reports. Still, stocks continued to put the catastrophic season behind, racking up a 75 point (3.58 percent) uptick on the Nasdaq, which closed Friday at 2,169.43 and a 127.79 point (1.23 percent) increase for the Dow Jones, which ended the week at 10.530.76.
