US companies shed 32,000 jobs in September, according to the ADP, a surprising decline that adds to growing concerns about the rapidly weakening labour market.
The government shutdown, which began in September, means that the Bureau of Labor Statistics will likely remain closed this week and unable to publish the official government jobs for a second straight month.
ADP said the negative number was due in part to recently revised BLS data but "the trend was unchanged; job creation continued to lose momentum across most sectors."
