🚨 U.S. PRIVATE JOB GROWTH SLOWS TO WEAKEST LEVEL SINCE JANUARY
U.S. private-sector employers added just 38,000 jobs in August, according to the latest ADP report — below the 48,000 expected and down from July’s revised 46,000 gain.
📊 Key points:
• Private payrolls increased by 38,000
• Slowest monthly job growth since January
• Education & health services led hiring with 45,000 new jobs
• Manufacturing lost 17,000 jobs
• Professional & business services fell by 16,000
• Annual base pay growth stood at 3.2%
⚠️ The data points to a cooling U.S. labor market, but it does not by itself determine the Federal Reserve’s next move.
Markets will now focus on the official U.S. jobs report due Friday, which could provide a broader view of employment conditions.
