Friday’s report capped a week of mostly encouraging data on the job market, including an update indicating layoffs remain relatively low. Such strength helps allay one of Wall Street’s top questions: whether the job market will continue to hold up after the Federal Reserve earlier kept interest rates at a two-decade high.

Major market averages shifted lower on Monday, after the Wall Street finished off strongly on Friday, helped by a better than expected September jobs report.  The S&P 500 (SP500) was -0.3%, the Nasdaq Composite (COMP:IND) was -0.
