Private companies added 63,000 jobs in February, ADP reported on Wednesday. January's additions were revised downwards to just 11,000 new positions. The February total surpassed forecasts from economists. Most of this job growth was seen in the health services and building sectors. Pay grew 4.5% for those staying in their jobs while wage gains for job switchers moved down to 6.3%, the smallest gap since ADP began tracking the metric.
