US DATA: Softest ADP Employment Growth Since August

US DATA
  • ADP employment was softer than expected in December at 122k (cons 140k) after an unrevised 146k in Nov.
  • It’s the softest pace of ADP jobs growth since August.
  • The lack of revisions left some large discrepancies with private payrolls in recent months (at least in the latest vintage for both), having undershot payrolls by 63k in Sep, overshoot by a huge 186k in Oct and then undershot again by 48k in Nov.
  • The latest ADP employment data show nearly all job creation was in large companies (500+), continuing a recent theme.
