US Companies Add 455,000 Jobs In March, ADP Report Shows

U.S. companies hired employees at a healthy clip in March, suggesting the labor market is still strong and that businesses are eager to fill a near-record of open positions, according to the ADP National Employment Report released Wednesday morning.

Companies added 455,000 jobs in March, slightly above the 450,000 gain that economists surveyed by Refinitiv had predicted but below the revised 486,000 increase in February. 

This is a developing story.
