NEW YORK: US stocks fell on Friday, weighed down by a jobs report that showed a continued labor market slowdown but left traders uncertain about how far the Federal Reserve will go in cutting interest rates.

All three main indices were lower, with the 11 sectors of the benchmark S&P 500 losing ground led by declines in communication services, consumer discretionary and technology equities.
