ADP’s February National Employment Report shows private-sector payrolls rose by 63,000, with year-over-year pay for job-stayers up 4.5% and pay for job-changers at 6.3%; hiring was strongest in construction and education/health services, with small establishments driving most gains (about 60,000).

Private employers added 63,000 jobs in February per ADP, topping the downwardly revised 11,000 in January and beating expectations. Hiring was concentrated in education and health services (58,000) and construction (19,000), with most other sectors flat.

ADP's January private-sector payrolls rose just 22,000, far behind economists' 45,000 forecast and December's revised 37,000.

Wage growth remains solid (4.5% for stayers; 6.4% for job-changers). With the government shutdown delaying the official January jobs report, data for January will be released on February 11, with CPI due February 13, highlighting a cooling labor market despite resilient wages.

Hiring was led by education and healthcare (74,000), while manufacturing payrolls fell by 8,000; mid-sized firms added 47,000, small businesses were flat, and large payrolls declined by 18,000.

Major companies are also reducing jobs, and the lack of official data complicates economic assessment.
The US private sector added 42,000 jobs in October, marking a recovery after previous losses, but the growth is slow and concentrated in certain sectors, raising concerns about the overall health of the economy amid a slowdown and limited government data due to a shutdown.
