ADP reports U.S. companies added just 132,000 new jobs in August
Hiring is slowing, according to ADP. U.S. companies added 132,000 new jobs in August, below economists' expectations; in July, companies hired twice that number. The ADP report, which was recently revamped to use a new methodology, also showed that annual worker pay increased 7.6% in August, which adds to worries about inflation. The federal government’s monthly report on jobs comes out Friday.
