NEW YORK – Not even grisly job losses could get in the stock market's way Friday.

The Dow Jones industrial average clawed higher to end above 8,000 for the first time in nearly two months, and logged an impressive fourth straight week of gains.

The last time the Dow rose for four consecutive weeks was between September and October of 2007 — when the index reached its all-time high above 14,000.
