Mired in uncertainty, global markets breathed a sigh of relief as the modest increase in employment, with the addition of 29,000 jobs in September, tempered expectations for the economy. The retail sector, where companies like Walmart and Target reported modest gains, was largely to blame for the relatively low figure.
