ADP Private sector payrolls for September.

"It's a strong report. After a three-month slowdown, job creation rebounded and pay growth remained solid."

Dr. Nela Richardson, Chief Economist, ADP

ADP reported private sector payrolls this morning and the results were quite impressive 90,000 net new jobs, beating estimates of 70,000.

Wages rose around inflation rates :Base pay rose 3.2% and gross pay was up 4.7% year over year, according to ADP

Base pay for job-stayers rose 3.0% year-over-year; base pay for job-changers increased 4.8%.

Job gains were highest in health and education - 55,000, leisure - 22,000 with help from construction and manufacturing contributing 17,000 and 15,000, respectively. Job losses were highest in professional and business services - 11,000. I would assume some impact of AI towards this.

The report is fairly positive with more jobs created than expected, without too much of an inflationary push.
