The latest ADP report is out and, wow, the U.S. job market just slammed on the brakes. Only 54,000 private-sector jobs were added in August—way less than expected and a big drop from July. Sectors like trade and education actually lost jobs, but leisure and hospitality are still hiring like crazy. Wage growth is steady, but with jobless claims rising and openings dropping, everyone’s watching the next jobs report. Rate cut, anyone? #JobCareer #JobMarket #Economy
