Job gains in the private sector far outpaced expectations in May, payroll processor ADP said Thursday, adding to sentiment that the U.S. economy is seeing a rebound in the second quarter from a sluggish first three months of the year.

The private sector added 253,000 jobs last month, far outpacing Wall Street expectations for a gain of 185,000 jobs. Business services, which includes technical services, management and administrative and support services positions, saw its strongest monthly increase since 2014, adding 88,000 jobs for the month, boosting the overall service-providing sector to 205,000 net new jobs.

?Job growth is rip-roaring,? Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody?s Analytics, said in a statement. ?The current pace of job growth is nearly three times the rate necessary to absorb growth in the labor force. Increasingly, businesses? number one challenge will be a shortage of labor.?

Elsewhere, the goods-producing sector added 48,000 jobs as 37,000 new construction jobs came online, while information services and leisure and hospitality saw employment declines.

If this keeps up, Dems are in trouble. Getting out of the Paris Accord should also help future job growth. I like the way that Trump explained how Obama sold the farm when he signed the Paris accord agreement and sold out our country to where other countries gained and we lost. He put it in very simple terms that everyone should understand, even liberals. Now set back and watch the radical liberal enviros go nuts over Trump dropping out of the Paris accord.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!! ... you clowns said these numbers were bunk just a few months ago. but now that a white guy is president it's GREAT NEWS AND SO VERY EXCITING AND GOOD!!!! god I love this site.


I won't go down that path where you left off because it would that would be ignorant and as disingenuous as you are. but I will point out Obama left Trump a record 75 consecutive months of job growth to work with.


Who would like to wager Trump can go 76 ? anyone? name your bet I'll take it.

Dude you need to do a search for, Average percentage of job growth under Obama, and you will find that his record is not as great as you are trying to make it out to be.
We will just have to see if Trump can increase those percentage points as he promised to do.

Job creation fell sharply in May with just 138,000 new positions created, while the unemployment rate declined to 4.3 percent, according to Labor Department data released Friday.

Economists surveyed by Reuters expected nonfarm payrolls to grow by 185,000 and the unemployment rate to hold steady at 4.4 percent.

Wage growth also disappointed, with average hourly earnings rising at a 2.5 percent annualized pace. The average work week was unchanged at 34.4 hours.

"This report is clearly soft in every material respect relative to expectations and relative to last month. That's a disappointment," said Eric Winograd, U.S. economist at Alliance Bernstein. However, he added, "I don't think it's soft enough to cause a fundamental rethink of the economic outlook."

Remember when the labor participation rate had all the fakers hyper ventilating. Well it increased by over 600,000 people in May, yet nothing is being said about that.

Quote:
The nation?s labor force participation rate ? the percentage of the 16-and-older civilian non-institutionalized population that is either employed or actively seeking work ? dropped two-tenths of a point to 62.7 percent in May.

The higher the percentage, the better, since people who participate in the labor force contribute the payroll and other taxes that help support many of those who do not work. The participation rate hit a record high of 67.3 percent in early 2000, plunging to a 38-year low of 62.4 percent in September 2015.
