ECONOMIC REPORT: Jobs grow by 57,000 in February, ADP says; Weakest private-sector hiring since July 2003, survey says

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- U.S. private-sector employment grew by 57,000 in February, the weakest job growth since July 2003, according to the ADP national employment index released Wednesday.
Job growth in February was about a third of the 167,000 averaged over the previous three months. The ADP index rose by 126,000 in January.
The ADP index, produced by Macroeconomics Advisers LLC for Automatic Data Processing Inc. (ADP) , is considered the single-best indicator of the government's monthly nonfarm payroll report, which will be reported on Friday.
Adding in some 20,000 government jobs created in a typical month, the ADP report would signal payroll growth of about 80,000 in February. Economists are currently projecting job growth of about 100,000 for Friday's report.
In February, employment in goods-producing industries cut 43,000 jobs, including 29,000 fewer jobs in manufacturing. It was the largest loss in the goods-producing sector since September. Job losses had averaged 4,000 over the previous three months.
Services-producing firms created 100,000, the weakest since April. Job gains had averaged 171,000 over the previous three months.
Small- and medium-sized businesses (fewer than 500 employees) created 86,000 jobs in February, while large businesses lost 29,000, the most since mid-2003, ADP said.
Beginning with February's report, the ADP index is being produced with an improved methodology that may reduce some of its limitations. The sample size has been increased to 400,000 firms covering about 23 million workers, larger than the initial response to the government's survey.
Using the new methodology, a few big misses the ADP index had suffered compared with the government's nonfarm payroll report were revised away.
"These changes are quite major and appear likely, at least in theory, to improve the accuracy of the report," Goldman Sachs economist Seamus Smyth told clients in a research note.
ADP is the one of the largest payroll providers in the world; it has more than 540,000 business clients worldwide.
