Private sector employment growth was a bit better than expected in March, but health care and construction continued to provide nearly all the momentum, payrolls processing company ADP reported Wednesday.
Job growth totaled 62,000 for the month, down just 4,000 from February’s upwardly revised level but above the Dow Jones consensus for 39,000. ADP’s report does not include government employees.
Like February’s report, two sectors essentially provided all the gains.
what a disaster. Everything he touches turns to shit

This is interesting:
>The report comes two days before the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its nonfarm payrolls report. The Wall Street forecast is for a gain of 59,000 following February’s reported loss of 92,000. The unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 4.4%.
BLS reported -86k private sector jobs in February 2026, while ADP had it at +59k, for reference. It’ll be interesting to see how closely they align this month.
