April Sees Strong Private Payroll Growth, Exceeding Expectations

ADP reported that private payrolls increased by 109,000 in April, surpassing the Dow Jones consensus estimate of 84,000. This growth marks the strongest job creation since January 2025. Key sectors driving this increase include education and health services, which added 61,000 jobs, and trade, transportation, and utilities, which gained 25,000 positions. Despite these gains, some sectors like professional and business services experienced job losses. The report suggests a stable labor market, reducing the likelihood of the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates amid persistent inflation.
