U.S. private sector adds 189,000 jobs in March -ADP

U.S. private employers added 189,000 jobs last month, below economists’ expectations and the lowest since January 2014, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday. Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast the ADP National Employment Report would show a gain of 225,000 jobs. The ADP figures come ahead of the U.S. Labor Department’s more comprehensive non-farm payrolls report on Friday, which includes both public and private-sector employment. Economists polled by Reuters are looking for total U.S. employment to have grown by 245,000 jobs in March, down from 295,000 in February.
