US private payrolls growth slows sharply in May

Wait 5 sec.

The ADP National Employment Report revealed a surprisingly weak increase in US private payrolls for May, with only 37,000 jobs added, significantly below economists' expectations. This figure follows a downwardly revised increase of 60,000 jobs in April. The report, released ahead of the Labor Department's broader employment data, indicates a continued easing of the labor market amidst economic uncertainty.
