"In April, the labor market recorded the third straight month of
gains despite tightening restrictions due to an increase in
COVID-19 cases," said Nela
Richardson, chief economist, ADP. "Nearly every sector added
jobs, with only information contracting slightly. Leisure and
hospitality and trade, transportation and utilities led job growth
along with other service-producing industries, while the
goods-producing industries remained flat."
The March total of jobs added was revised from 634,800 to
266,700.
