ADP says the private sector contracted

[citygator]

Hahaha, you are pretty stupid. The colored picture is not from ADP, first big error showing you lack comprehension skills.

Go try to bullshit someone else. The government is growing. Democrats are fighting to keep growing the government

This is an ADP thread and you claimed Republicans unwind government hiring. Federal employees were 2.9M in 2009, 2014, 2019, 2024…they are always about 2.9m except during census. The government employees are NOT growing and drastically reducing as a percent of employed.

ADP has an amazing history of being wrong.

In May they said 29,000 jobs added. Turns out, 139,000 jobs were added.

It's a bullshit report.

Only have to wait a day. March and April were revised down about 100,000. They will likely revise May down based on history. Anything close to the expected revisions will have proven the ADP numbers pretty accurate. We will see.

March and April will lose another 30,000 jobs revised.

Nobody revised the 139,000 number down. If anything I think one source said it was revised to 115,000. Still FAR from the claimed 29,000 by this highly unreliable source.

U.S. added 139,000 jobs in May as the labor market steadily cools

The payroll gains beat expectations but marked a slowdown from April, and the federal workforce has shed 59,000 roles since January.

History has shown that ADP is not a reliable source for actual numbers
