U.S. private payrolls increase by 4,750 on average in 4 weeks to November 22 - ADP



Investing.com - U.S. private payrolls increased by 4,750 on average per week in the four weeks ending on November 22, according to a weekly update of the monthly ADP National Employment Report. ... The data comes after hiring in the American private sector notched its biggest drop in more than two and a half years in November.

However, analysts cautioned against reading too much into the figures, arguing that the monthly estimate has recently diverged from a separate gauge of the U.S. employment market from the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The BLS is due to release its closely-monitored nonfarm payrolls report for November on December 16, after it was delayed by a record-long U.S. government shutdown. The October unemployment rate will also never be known, after having hovered around a four-year high of 4.4% in September.

But the economy is still tipped to have shed jobs in October, as thousands of federal workers accepted buyout packages which would take them off government payrolls.
