The Dow climbed 40.59 points to a record 17,652.79.

The Nasdaq went up 5 points to 4,680.14, and the S&P 500 went up 1.08 points to 2,039.33.

More people filed for unemployment last week, but the Labor Department isn’t worried.  It says the increase of 12,000 isn’t sharp enough to disrupt the job market’s positive momentum.

With more people working, it may be easier to pay for an education. The College Board says borrowing dropped about 6% per student last year.  

Mercedes-Benz and Mini Cooper topped JD Power and Associates’ latest study on customer satisfaction. Benz was number one among luxury labels, while Minis were biggest when it comes to mass-marketed brands.
