The positive part is that the August figure has been revised upwards, going from 177,000 jobs to 180,000.
According to the statement, large companies drove the slowdown, losing 83,000 jobs and nullifying the gains made in August.
According to Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP: “We have been seeing a steeper decline in employment this month. Additionally, we are seeing a steady decline in wages over the past 12 months.”
