NEW YORK (AP) - Wall Street shares headed for a higher opening Friday, as investors waited to learn whether the economy shed more jobs last month.
Friday's market is likely to take its cues from the Labor Department's jobs report, which will be released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time. According to Thomson/IFR, the report should show 15,000 jobs were lost in March, which would be an improvement over the 63,000 job cut in February.
However, some economists expect that as many as 150,000 jobs were eliminated. The economy has given up jobs every month since the start of the year and many economists believe the U.S. already has entered a recession.
