Job growth slowed for the second month in a row at private-sector firms, which added just 37,000 jobs in May, according to the ADP. That came in significantly below expectations for an increase of 130,000.


Trump's sweeping policy moves, especially a whipsaw approach to massive import tariffs, have left businesses in limbo. The bulk of the hiring slowdown came from the goods sector, which lost 2,000 jobs.
