Employment growth is strong, but 'fragmented,' one economist notes.

Amid waves of layoffs continuing to hit some of the nation’s largest employers, the unemployment rate unexpectedly ticked up last month despite the labor market gaining significantly more jobs than expected—adding to mixed messages about the economy as the Federal Reserve decides whether it should pause its aggressive campaign to tame rising prices for the first time in more than a year.

Employment growth is strong, but"fragmented," Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP,in a Thursday statement. The payroll processor reported private employers added a better-than-expected 278,000 last month; however, it also noted pay growth is"slowing substantially" despite the robust hiring, as leisure and hospitality jobs led gains, while manufacturing and finance lost jobs.
