Private companies added 86,000 jobs in October, slightly higher than expected, ADP says
Service-sector hiring led the gain, while base pay rose 3.2% and gross pay climbed 4.7%, ADP said.
- Private employers added 86,000 jobs in October, according to the ADP National Employment Report released Wednesday, matching the downwardly revised September total and slightly exceeding the 75,000 jobs economists anticipated.
- Hiring showed solid growth for a second month, though gains were concentrated in service-providing sectors where trade, transportation, and utilities led with 39,000 new jobs and education and health services added 28,000.
- Professional and business services lost 27,000 positions for the third straight month, while natural resources and mining dropped 8,000; construction added 13,000 and financial activities contributed 15,000.
- Job-Changers saw a 4.8% annual gain as earnings growth reached its fastest pace since March 2024, with ADP chief economist Dr. Nela Richardson noting they were "lured by a combination of bonuses."
- The ADP data serves as a precursor to the Bureau of Labor Statistics nonfarm payrolls report due Friday, with economists expecting a 59,000-job gain after September's modest growth of 29,000.
