ADP and PMI August Reports “Out Today” Downplay Recession Risk

WEEKLY ECONOMIC REPORTS

ADP Employment Report

U.S. private payrolls increased moderately in August, according to the ADP National Employment report, which suggests the slowdown in the labor market as government data continues to point to strong demand for workers.  Private employment rose by 132,000 jobs in August after increasing 268,000 in July, the ADP report showed on Wednesday.

“Our data suggests a recent shift toward a more conservative pace of hiring, possibly as companies try to decipher the economy’s conflicting signals,” said ADP’s chief economist Nela Richardson. “We could be at an inflection point, from super-charged job gains to something more normal.”

The ADP National Employment Report is an independent estimate of the change in U.S. private employment and pay derived from actual, anonymized payroll data of client companies served by ADP, a leading provider of human capital management solutions.
