Economy Title: ADP: Private-sector employment decreased by 39,000 In September Oct. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Following is the text from the Sept. private payrolls report from ADP Employer Services. September 2010 National Employment Report Private-sector employment decreased by 39,000 from August to September on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to the latest ADP National Employment Report released today. The estimated change of employment from July to August was revised up from the previously reported decline of 10,000 to an increase of 10,000. The decline in private employment in September confirms a pause in the economic recovery already evident in other data. A deceleration of employment occurred in all the major sectors shown in The ADP Report and for all sizes of payroll. The September decline in employment followed seven monthly increases from February through August. However, over those seven months, the average monthly gain in employment was 34,000. There simply is no momentum in employment. Unlike the estimate of total establishment employment to be released on Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), today’s ADP National Employment Report does not include the effects of federal hiring -- and now firing -- for the 2010 Census Hiring for the census peaked in May and is still tapering down slightly. September’s ADP Report estimates employment in the service- providing sector rose by 6,000 in September, the eighth consecutive monthly gain. This increase was not enough to offset an employment decline in the goods-producing sector of 45,000. Construction employment dropped by 28,000 during September and manufacturing employment declined 17,000, the third consecutive monthly decline. Large businesses, defined as those with 500 or more workers, saw employment decline 11,000 while employment among medium-size businesses, defined as those with between 50 and 499 workers, decreased by 14,000. Employment among small-size businesses, defined as those with fewer than 50 workers, decreased by 14,000.* In September, construction employment dropped 28,000. Construction employment has declined for over three years and the total decline in construction jobs since the peak in January 2007 is 2,297,000. Employment in the financial services sector dropped 13,000. Financial Services employment has declined for over 3 years.
