Private sector employment increased by 155,000 jobs in March and annual pay was up 4.6% year-over-year, the ADP showed, countering fears that the labour market and economy are slowing.
That marked a sharp increase from the upwardly revised 84,000 in February and better than the consensus forecast for 120,000. Service providers were responsible for most of the positions.
