ADP reports a surprising decline in November private sector jobs, raising concerns about labor market resilience and consumer sentiment.
ADP has revealed a surprise decline of 32,000 private sector jobs in November, signalling renewed pressure across the labour market. Small businesses in particular have been hit hardest, raising fresh concerns about resilience heading into the new year.
Economists warn that slowing hiring momentum and weakening pay growth point to a broader shift in worker demand. With consumers increasingly expecting unemployment to rise, sentiment across industries continues to cool.
The market now turns its attention to the upcoming Bureau of Labor Statistics report, which will offer a crucial read on whether this slowdown is temporary—or a sign of something much larger.
