U.S. Adds Nearly Double The Jobs Last Month Than Expected

ADP reported private-sector payrolls rose by 109,000 in April, slightly above the 107,500 consensus and the strongest monthly gain since March 2025. Education and health services led the increase with 61,000 new jobs, indicating continued labor market growth but no major surprise. The report is modestly supportive for economic activity, though the overall tone remains largely factual.
