The Dow Jones Industrial Average crossed 29,000 for the first time on Friday, but if you blinked, you missed it.   Weaker-than-expected employment data and more bad news from Boeing helped pull the index lower.   Hitting another thousand mark has been a frequent occurrence for the Dow. It has closed above a new thousand-point threshold 14 times since 2010. It likely won't be long before the Dow closes above 29,000, Friday's disappointing jobs report notwithstanding. While the numbers came in below expectations, they still managed to show that the labor market remains solid, writes CNBC's Patti Domm.  Wage growth was below expectations, too, but that isn't an entirely bad thing for stock investors.  "The overall picture is good," said Matt Orton, vice president and portfolio specialist at Carillon Tower Advisers. "On top of that, you also avoid overall inflation on the economy. It gives the Fed the ability to hit pause, pushing any rate hike further down the road."    Subscribe to CNBC PRO for exclusive insights and analysis, and live business day programming from around the world.   Al Lewis | CNBC Markets Editor @tellittoal TOP NEWS  Dow falls after topping 29,000 for first time earlier in the session Job market ends 2019 with disappointing 145,000 growth in payrolls 'Damning' Boeing messages reveal efforts to manipulate regulators of 737 Max December jobs report is not as disappointing as it appears Cramer: I feel like a 'clown' for defending Boeing in the early days of 737 Max scandal Pelosi will send articles of impeachment to Senate next week US slaps new sanctions on Iran following strikes on US targets Facebook, Tesla and Netflix comebacks show how investors can overreact to headlines and miss out Things are so bad for Six Flags it got downgraded twice by the same analyst in less than 12 hours Top tech analyst knocks down theory Apple's surge is due to passive investing, buybacks     TOP VIDEO Cramer: I feel like a 'clown' for defending Boeing   CNBC PRO Chinese vehicle registration data shows big Tesla potential, Piper says as it hikes target by 30%   SPECIAL REPORTS Biotech stocks set up to rally back to all-time highs, chart suggests Traders are positioning for an extreme move, broker-dealer says   Unsubscribe Manage Newsletters Terms of Service Join the CNBC Panel Digital Products Feedback Privacy Policy   © 2020 CNBC LLC.
