Job creation at the company level rose about in line with expectations in August, despite weakness in manufacturing and construction, according to the latest report from ADP and Moody’s Analytics.
Companies added 177,000 positions for the month, just above Wall Street expectations for 175,000.
While the headline number appeared solid, the internals were a bit weaker. All of the new jobs came from services, which added 183,000 positions. Goods-producing industries actually lost 6,000 for the month.
