The firm jobs market is gradually applying upward pressure on compensation. Meanwhile, other Wednesday’s data disclosed a firm rally in labor costs in the third quarter.
According to the ADP national employment data, private sector employment inched up by 227,000 jobs in September, surpassing experts’ hopes for a leap of 189,000. Eventually, September's payrolls count was updated downwards from 230,000 to 218,000.
