Private businesses in the US hired 978 thousand workers in May of 2021, well above a downwardly revised 654 thousand in April and forecasts of 650 thousand.

The service-providing sector added 850 thousand jobs led by leisure & hospitality (440 thousand); education & health (139 thousand); trade, transportation & utilities (118 thousand); professional & business (68 thousand); and financial activities (20 thousand) while the information sector lost 3 thousand jobs. The goods-producing sector added 128 thousand jobs, boosted by rises in construction (65 thousand), manufacturing (52 thousand) and natural resources and mining (11 thousand). Companies of all sizes experienced an uptick in job growth, reflecting the improving nature of the pandemic and economy. source: Automatic Data Processing, Inc. [/s2If]
