The ADP National Employment Report showed on Wednesday that private employers added 129,000 payrolls last month, far below economist forecasts for an increase of 175,000 and the slowest pace in a year and a half. ADP's model incorporates prior official payroll data as well as information from firms which use its payroll processing services, so it's possible that noise and cold weather in February pulled last month's numbers down, said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.
