Major U.S. stock-indexes little changed on Friday despite a solid jobs report which virtually sealed the deal for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates next week, and potentially set the course for an aggressive tightening path this year. Data showed 235,000 jobs were added in the public and private sectors in February, far exceeding economists' average estimate of 190,000.
