Private payrolls rose 42,000 in October, more than expected and countering labor market fears, ADP says
The post Private payrolls rose 42, 000 in October, more than expected and countering labor market fears, ADP says appeared com. A jobseeker speaks with a recruiter during a NYS Department Of Labor job fair at the Downtown Central Library in Buffalo, New York, US, on Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2025. Lauren Petracca | Bloomberg | Getty Images Payroll growth at private companies turned slightly stronger than expected in October, providing some hope that the labor market isn’t in danger of sinking, ADP reported Wednesday. Companies added 42, 000 jobs for the month, following a decline of 29, 000 in September and topping the Dow Jones consensus estimate for a gain of 22, 000. A revision for September showed 3, 000 fewer jobs lost, the payrolls processing firm said. A gain of 47, 000 in the trade, transportation and utilities grouping helped offset losses in multiple other categories. Education and health services also showed growth of 26, 000 while financial activities added 11, 000. Despite the artificial intelligence-fueled tech boom, information services saw a decline of 17, 000 positions. Other sectors posting losses included professional and business services (-15, 000), other services (-13, 000) and manufacturing (-3, 000), a sector that continues to struggle despite President Donald Trump’s tariffs aimed at bringing factory jobs back to the U. S. All of the job creation came from companies employing at least 250 workers. That category added 76, 000 jobs, while smaller businesses lost 34, 000. Despite the meager job growth, salaries continued to rise. Year-over-year pay for those staying in their jobs rose 4. 5%, the same as in September, while job switchers saw a 6. 7% increase, up slightly from a month ago. “Private employers added jobs in October for the first time since July, but hiring was modest relative to what we reported earlier this year,” said ADP chief economist Nela Richardson. “Meanwhile, pay growth has been largely flat for more than a year, indicating that shifts in supply and demand are balanced.” By ADP’s count, job.
Trump brings back Elon Musk’s friend Jared Isaacman as NASA nominee
The post Trump brings back Elon Musk’s friend Jared Isaacman as NASA nominee appeared com. Donald Trump has renominated Jared Isaacman to lead NASA, months after pulling the same nomination during what Trump described as a “thorough review of prior associations.” The decision puts Jared back into a role he was originally selected for in December, before Trump even formally returned to the White House. Jared is an eccentric billionaire, who founded of Shift4 and commanders two private spaceflights. But Jared is also known to be close, long-term friends with Elon Musk, whose companies hold major influence in the U. S. space industry. In the statement shared Tuesday on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Jared’s passion for Space, astronaut experience, and dedication to pushing the boundaries of exploration, unlocking the mysteries of the universe, and advancing the new Space economy, make him ideally suited to lead NASA into a bold new Era.” That post marked the formal reinstatement of Jared’s nomination. The first nomination was withdrawn in late May after tensions between Trump and Elon, who at the time was involved in a White House effort to cut the size of federal agencies. Trump said the withdrawal was due to reviewing Jared’s “past associations,” but he did not explain further. Reports suggested the reference pointed to Jared’s earlier donations to Democrats, though nothing was confirmed from the White House. Isaacman reorganizes Shift4 and prepares for Senate confirmation Days after the pulled nomination, Jared addressed Shift4 investors. He wrote that his “brief stint in politics was a thrilling experience.” He then announced that he would step down as CEO and instead become executive chairman of the company he founded in 1999 at age 16. He had been planning to leave the CEO role if the Senate confirmed him to lead NASA, but the confirmation process did not take place at that time. Since July, NASA has been led.
