BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 08:31 AM EDT

08:31 AM EDT, 06/03/2026 (MT Newswires) -- ADP's monthly measure of private payrolls showed a 122,000 increase in May, slightly above expectations compiled by Bloomberg as of 7:30 am ET for an increase of 120,000.

By sector, goods-producing jobs rose by 8,000, led by an 8,000 increase in construction jobs, while service-providing jobs were up 114,000, with education and health services jobs up 57,000, trade, transportation, and utilities jobs up 36,000, and leisure and hospitality jobs up 8,000.

"Hiring was more broad-based in May than we've seen in the last few years," said Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP. The labor market continues to show sustained momentum going into the summer hiring season."

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
