Private Sector Job Growth Slows Down

  • 152,000 new jobs added by US businesses in May according to ADP
  • Smallest increase this year
  • Economists predicted a gain of 175,000
  • Government’s official report expected to show 190,000 new jobs
  • Job openings at three-year low
  • Potential interest rate cut by Federal Reserve

U.S. businesses added the fewest workers in four months, with only 152,000 new jobs in May according to payroll processor ADP, signaling a potential slowdown in hiring. Economists had predicted a gain of 175,000. The government is expected to report 190,000 new jobs created in May. Job openings have reached their lowest level in three years, which may lead the Federal Reserve to consider cutting interest rates later this year. Inflation pressure could remain due to businesses still adding workers faster than labor force growth.
