In a surprising development, the ADP National Employment Report reveals that U.S. private employers shed 32,000 jobs in November, marking the most significant job losses since the earlier part of the year. Small businesses were particularly hard-hit, leading to concerns over the slowing job market. This downturn in employment may influence upcoming decisions by the Federal Reserve regarding interest rates, as the weak labor market raises expectations for a potential rate cut. Despite the job losses, annual pay in the private sector has seen an increase of 4.4%. Treasury yields fell in response to the job report, while stock futures remained higher despite the negative employment news.
