ADP Jobs Report = 158,000

The private payroll firm, ADP, reported this morning that 158,000 jobs were created last month. That’s causing the market to be down slightly this morning. The big report, however, will come on Friday when the government releases its numbers.

The ADP number was actually the smallest gain in five months and it came in just below Wall Street’s expectations. ADP revised its figures for February higher by 39,000 but January was revised lower by 38,000.
