 U.S. private employers add 184,000 jobs in March - ADP
==========

Private sector employment in the U.S. increased by 184,000 jobs in March, surpassing economists' forecast of 148,000 jobs. This marks the largest increase in hiring since July and is led by the leisure and hospitality sector. Job gains were strong across industries except for professional services. Year-over-year pay gains for job-stayers remained flat at 5.1%, while gains for job-changers rose to 10%. The ADP numbers serve as a precursor to the non-farm payrolls report, which is expected to show that the U.S. economy added 205,000 jobs in March. The unemployment rate is forecast to remain unchanged at 3.9% and annual wage growth is expected to slow to 4.1% from 4.3% in February.
