In October, the number of jobs in the private sector rose more than expected. Experts attribute this to the destruction due to hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
ADP National Employment published its monthly report on employment. The document says that private employers opened 235 thousand new jobs in October. It is 35 thousand more than expected, and 100 thousand more in comparison with indicators of September (135 thousand).
Most new jobs appeared in the service sector – 150 thousand last month. In the second place, employers of commercial enterprisesthat have opened 109 thousand new posts.
Next come the manufacturers, which provided more than 85 thousand new jobs, and in the industrial sector had about 22 thousand vacant positions.
Mark Sandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics said that the stable growth of employment in the construction sector caused by the need for restoration work after the hurricanes.
The ADP report noted that in areas such as trade, transport, information and education, the opposite is true, namely, the maximum number of job losses.
