ADP National Employment Report Meets Expectations, 201K Jobs Created in May

The U.S. private sector job creation stood at 201,000 jobs in May, which is 1,000 jobs more than the 200,000 jobs Wall Street expected. The ADP National Employment Report was welcome news during an otherwise abysmal economic month on Wall Street, which saw equities jump on the data.

Perhaps the most optimistic piece of data in the report was the 122,000 jobs that came from small business companies with 49 or fewer employees. Under much of the Obama administration tenure, and for the first time in U.S. history, small business creation lagged behind small business failure.
