Wall Street. Major U.S. stock-indexes fell

Major U.S. stock-indexes fells on Friday after jobs data for September fell far short of expectations, raising doubts that the economy is robust enough to absorb an interest rate hike. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 142,000, below the 203,000 that economists had expected, and August figures were revised sharply lower. The jobless rate held steady at 5.1% but average hourly wages fell by a cent from August.

Most of Dow stocks in negative area (23 of 30). Top looser - JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM, -3.52%). Top gainer - Pfizer Inc. (PFE, +1.95%).

S&P index sectors mixed. Top looser - Financial (-1.4%). Top gainer - Basic Materials (+1,1%).
