Wall Street traded mixed on Friday as investors digested corporate earnings and messages from G20 finance minister meeting on currency issue. Verizon, the second largest U.S. phone company said Friday that its profit fell 24 percent in the third quarter, held back by a one-time pension settlement. Its net income fell to 881 million U. S. dollars, or 31 cents per share. That's down from 1.18 billion dollars, or 41 cents per share, a year ago. Technology stocks led the markets boosted by encouraging earnings from chip- makers. SanDisk added 1 percent after the memory chip maker's third-quarter profit jumped 39 percent. Shares of Amazon and Baidu rose 2.6 percent and 4.68 percent as earnings beat Wall Street estimates. Unemployment rates were little changed in most states in September, the Labor Department reported. Twenty-three states and Washington D.C. experienced jobless-rate decreases, while the rate rose in 11 regions and was unchanged in 16. States hardest hit by the housing bubble, such as Florida and California, continue to struggle with double-digit unemployment rates. Nevada, with the unemployment rate of 14.4 percent, remained the state with the highest unemployment rate in the nation.
