The Automatic Data Processing, Inc. released the US ADP Non-Farm Employment Change data that came out lower than expected of 179K, compare to forecasted 195K.
Ahu Yildirmaz, the Vice President and Co-Head of the ADP Research Institute said, "Although the labor market performed well, job growth decelerated slightly. Midsized businesses added nearly 70 percent of all jobs this month. This growth points to the midsized businesses' ability to provide stronger wages and benefits. It also suggests they could be more insulated from the global challenges large enterprises face."
