U.S. stocks were split among winners and losers after a report suggested the job market is cooling, which could offer both upsides and downsides for Wall Street
U.S. stocks were split among winners and losers Tuesday after a report suggested the job market is cooling, the latest signal of a slowing economy that offers both upsides and downsides for Wall Street.
