The ADP National Employment Report finds the U.S. private sector created 275,000 jobs in April, crushing the consensus forecast and range. The total number of jobs added in March was revised up from 129,000 to 151,000.
“April posted an uptick in growth after the first quarter appeared to signal a moderation following a strong 2018,” said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. “The bulk of the overall growth is with service providers, adding the strongest gain in more than two years.”
