"Private job creation totaled a stunning 233,000 in October, far more than expected, ADP says" (GDP growth misses)

From CNBC, October 30:

  • ADP said private companies hired 233,000 new workers in the month, better than the upwardly revised 159,000 in September and far ahead of the Dow Jones estimate for 113,000.
  • It was the best month for job creation since July 2023.
  • The numbers counter expectations for a slowdown in October on the heels of two brutal hurricanes and strikes at Boeing and ports on the Eastern seaboard.
