🚨🚨🚨In terms of sectors, the leisure and hospitality sector achieved the largest gains by adding 27,000 jobs.

🚨🚨🚨The "ADP" estimate is considered a preliminary indicator for the non-farm payroll report that the U.S. Department of Labor will release on Friday, and the results of the two reports often differ significantly. Economists expect job growth of 133,000 jobs in the Labor Department report, which, unlike the "ADP" report, also includes government employment. The unemployment rate is expected to remain steady at 4.2%.
