US DATA: Weekly ADP Sees Another Decline Heading Into November
Nov-18 13:42
The ADP NER Pulse reports -2.5k private sector jobs lost over the four weeks to Nov 1 on a week-on-week basis.
It follows a downward revised -14.25k (-11.25k) in the previous week to Oct 25 and 4.75k (6.25k previously) in the week to Oct 18.
Whilst not as weak as last week’s surprisingly soft estimate, it still points to a resumption of a rolling over in jobs growth after the 42k increase in the official monthly report for October had fared a little better than expected after a sizeable decline in September.
Note the chart below shows on a crude monthly basis to show how it's changed vs the last published monthly figures.
Once again, ADP warns that “These numbers are preliminary and could change as new data is added."
