The result came in well below expectations for a 50,000 job gain and marked a sharp swing from August&#8217;s revised increase of 54,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">The monthly data\u2014derived from anonymized payroll records of over 26 million workers\u2014carries added weight this month due to the ongoing government shutdown, which is expected to delay Friday&#8217;s official jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">&#8220;Despite the strong economic growth we saw in the second quarter, this month&#8217;s release further validates what we&#8217;ve been seeing in the labor market, that U.S. employers have been cautious with hiring,&#8221; said Dr. Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP.<\/p>\n<p>Where Were The Job Cuts? <\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Losses were spread across sectors, suggesting more than just industry-specific weakness. The leisure and hospitality sector was hit the hardest, shedding 19,000 jobs, reflecting potential softness in consumer discretionary spending. <\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Only three sectors showed positive hiring trends: Education and health services, up by 33,000, information, up by 9,000 and mining and natural resources, up by 4,000. <\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">On the wage front, pay gains remained stable for workers staying in their jobs, with year-over-year growth holding at 4.5%. However, those switching jobs saw a deceleration: pay growth slowed to 6.6% in September from 7.1% in August, suggesting reduced upward pressure on wages.<\/p>\n<p>Markets React: Stocks Dip, Bonds Rally <\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Markets leaned risk-off following the ADP release and amid broader concerns about the federal shutdown. <\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">During Wednesday\u2019s premarket trading, futures on the S&amp;P 500 fell 0.4%, contracts on the Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.3% and those on the Dow Jones lost 0.38%. <\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Meanwhile, Treasury markets rallied as investors shifted to safer assets. The 10-year Treasury yield declined to 4.12%, reflecting rising demand for bonds amid fears of a broader economic slowdown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">In commodities, gold \u2013 as tracked by the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:<a class=\"ticker\" href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/quote\/GLD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">GLD<\/a>) \u2013 surged to $3,900 per ounce, marking its eighth positive session in nine days. <\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Read Next:<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Image created using artificial intelligence via Midjourney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A closely watched private payrolls report unexpectedly showed job losses in September, stoking fresh doubts about U.S. labor&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":195738,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[28,113415,14990,44607,14989,101,14988,113416,35595,35597],"class_list":{"0":"post-195737","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-category-econ-s","10":"tag-category-news","11":"tag-category-top-stories","12":"tag-cms-wordpress","13":"tag-economy","14":"tag-pageisbzpro-bz","15":"tag-symbol-gld","16":"tag-tag-expert-ideas","17":"tag-tag-stories-that-matter"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195737\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/195738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
