Major U.S. stock-indexes soared on Friday after strong jobs data for April indicated a pickup in the economy, which could prompt the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates only toward the end of the year. Nonfarm payrolls in April increased by 223000, just below expectations, while the unemployment rate dropped despite more people entering the job market.
