Wall Street ended the week on an emphatic high note, with the blue-chip Dow rising to an eighth consecutive record finish Friday.

Investors were buoyed by rosy job creation numbers in July, as the economy added 209,000 net new positions, as well as a string of good earnings reports.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.3 percent to close at 22,092.81, while the broader S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq each added 0.2 percent to close at 2,476.83 and 6,351.56, respectively.
