U.S. private-sector employers cut 32,000 jobs in September, the Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP) said in its monthly report on Wednesday, falling far short of market expectations for an increase of approximately 50,000 jobs.
Last month's job cuts by American companies marked the largest private payroll decrease since March 2023.
The U.S. Department of Labor, which had originally scheduled the release of its September nonfarm payrolls report for October 3, has suspend all operations due to interrupted funding amid the federal government shutdown, which began on Wednesday.
Some economic analysts anticipate that if the U.S. labor market continues to show weakness, the Federal Reserve may announce another interest rate cut in October.
