"Employment growth was strong in April," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. "While manufacturing saw yet another month of strong job gains, trade, information and finance all rebounded nicely. Construction also posted significant gains, which is likely a result of the more tepid spring weather."
The March total of jobs added was revised up from 13,200 to 76,700.
