ICYMI: Private payrolls fell by 301,000 for January vs. the estimate for a 200,000 gain, ADP says.

Companies cut jobs in January for the first time in more than a year as the spread of the Covid omicron variant appeared to hit hiring, payroll processing firm ADP reported Wednesday.

The pandemic-sensitive leisure and hospitality industry was responsible for more than half of the decline, as companies reported a drop of 154,000. Trade, transportation and utilities cut 62,000 while the other services category declined by 23,000. Service-providing industries were responsible for 274,000 of the job losses, with goods producers falling by 27,000.
