American financial analysts pointed out that ADP data showed an increase of 62,000 jobs, easing the Federal Reserve's employment pressure and possibly prompting it to keep interest rates steady or raise them. Employment growth in small businesses improved, but the new jobs were mainly concentrated in education and healthcare services. The construction industry saw growth, while trade and manufacturing experienced declines.

ME News message, on April 1 (UTC+8), U.S. financial website investinglive analyst commented on the ADP data, saying that after a period of weakness, the data has performed fairly well for the second consecutive time. Although the addition of 62k jobs isn’t strong, it to some extent eases pressure on the Federal Reserve’s employment target and makes it more inclined to keep interest rates unchanged or consider a rate hike. At the same time, employment growth for small businesses also improved. The negative aspect of the report is that out of the 62k newly added jobs, 58k came from the education and healthcare services industries. Construction added 30k jobs, while trade/transportation/utilities decreased by 58k jobs, and manufacturing decreased by 11k jobs. (Source: Jin Ten)
