ADP Employer Services Says U.S. Added 48,000 Jobs (Update1)
By Shobhana Chandra
Aug. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Companies in the U.S. added fewer jobs in July than
forecast, a private report based on payroll data showed today.
The 48,000 increase followed a revised gain of 143,000 for the prior month
that was less than previously estimated, ADP Employer Services said.
The worst housing slump in 16 years and high fuel costs have damped consumer
demand, prompting companies to slow hiring. A Labor Department report this
week is forecast to show the economy added jobs in July at about the same
pace as in June, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg News
survey.
``Employment growth is slowing to some extent,'' said David Sloan, senior
economist at 4Cast Inc. in New York, before the report. ``Housing remains
weak, and will be a negative for the labor market. The manufacturing sector
is still laying off workers though not at the strong pace we'd seen
earlier.''
The ADP report was forecast to show a gain of 100,000, according to the
median estimate of 20 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Estimates
ranged from 60,000 to 120,000.
