U.S. private employers add 374,000 jobs in August - ADP
The
employment report prepared by Automatic Data Processing Inc. (ADP) and Moody's
Analytics showed on Wednesday the U.S. private employers added 374,000 jobs in August.
Economists
had expected an increase of 613,000.
The July
number saw a downward revision to 326,000 from the originally reported 330,000.
“Our
data, which represents all workers on a company’s payroll, has highlighted a
downshift in the labor market recovery. We have seen a decline in new hires,
following significant job growth from the first half of the year,” noted Nela
Richardson, chief economist, ADP. “Despite the slowdown, job gains are approaching
4 million this year, yet still 7 million jobs short of pre-COVID-19 levels.
Service providers continue to lead growth, although the Delta variant creates
uncertainty for this sector. Job gains across company sizes grew in lockstep,
with small businesses trailing a bit more than usual.”
Meanwhile,
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, said, “The Delta variant of
COVID-19 appears to have dented the job market recovery. Job growth remains
strong, but well off the pace of recent months. Job growth remains inextricably
tied to the path of the pandemic.”
