ADP: Private Employment increased 191,000 in March


From ADP:

Private sector employment increased by 191,000 jobs from February to March according to the March ADP National Employment Report®. … The report, which is derived from ADP’s actual payroll data, measures the change in total nonfarm private employment each month on a seasonally-adjusted basis.

Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, said, “The job market is coming out from its deep winter slumber. Job gains are consistent with the pace prior to the brutal winter. The gains are broad based across industries and business size classes. Even better numbers are likely in coming months as the weather warms.”

This was at the consensus forecast for 190,000 private sector jobs added in the ADP report. 

Note: ADP hasn’t been very useful in directly predicting the BLS report on a monthly basis, but it might provide a hint. The BLS report for March will be released on Friday.
