The U.S. ADP Non-farm Employment Change is a very good predictor of the Non-Farm Payrolls report as the ADP Non-farm Employment Change measures the monthly change in non-farm, private employment.
The U.S. ADP Nonfarm Employment Change is usually released two days ahead of the NFP number and it was released this week on Wednesday the 31stof October at 14:15 SAST.
The change in private employment increased to 227K from the expected forecast number of 189K for the month of October 2018.
