ADP National Employment Report Misses Estimates.


According to the latest ADP employment report, U.S. nonfarm private payrolls increased 119,000 for the March to April period. Economists on Wall Street were looking for an increase of 170,000. Additionally, the March numbers were revised downwards to 201,000 from 209,000.  Investors will be watching very closely at the government numbers due out on Friday.  Economists expect Nonfarm payrolls to come in at 162,000, Nonfarm private payrolls to come in at 167,000 and the unemployment rate to stay unchanged at 8.2%.
