Breaking: US private sector employment rises 177,000 in August vs. 195,000 expected
Private sector employment in the US rose 177,000 in August, the data published by Automatic Data Processing (ADP) showed on Wednesday. This reading followed the 371,000 increase (revised from 324,000) recorded in July and came in below the market expectation of 195,000.
"Job stayers saw a year-over-year pay increase of 5.9%, the slowest growth since October 2021," the ADP further noted in the press release and said pay growth also decelerated to 9.5% for job changers.
Assessing the report, “this month's numbers are consistent with the pace of job creation before the pandemic,” said Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP.
“After two years of exceptional gains tied to the recovery, we're moving toward more sustainable growth in pay and employment as the economic effects of the pandemic recede,” she added.
