Companies in the private sector added 183,000 jobs in January, payroll processing firm ADP said on Wednesday.

"We had a strong start to 2025 but it masked a dichotomy in the labor market," said Nela Richardson, ADP's chief economist. "Consumer-facing industries drove hiring, while job growth was weaker in business services and production."
