U.S. private payrolls miss expectations in October as labour market remains tight

U.S. private payrolls increased far less than expected in October, but that likely understates the health of the labour market, which remains tight.

The ADP report, jointly developed with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, was published ahead of the release on Friday of the Labor Department’s more comprehensive and closely watched employment report for October. The labour market remains strong despite 525 basis points worth of interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve since March 2022. A survey from the Conference Board on Tuesday showed consumers’ views of the labour market upbeat in October.
