ADP Misses In August, Still Above Private Payrolls Consensus

US DATA
  • ADP employment came in softer than expected at 177k (cons 195k) in August. Recall it follows two months of large overshoots of private payrolls growth for June and July.
  • There is however some confusion on revisions. The ADP press release notes that “the July total of jobs added was revised from 324,000 to 371,000”, a figure picked up by wires, although its own data available on the ADP website show what would be a downward revision to 312k.
  • From the press release: "This month's numbers are consistent with the pace of job creation before the pandemic."
  • Private payrolls consensus prior to the report was seen at 148k.
