Nela Richardson, chief economist at Automatic Data Processing Inc. (ADP), during a Bloomberg Television interview at the Jackson Hole economic symposium in Moran, Wyoming, US, on Friday, Aug. 25, 2023.
U.S. added 90,000 jobs last month, says ADP—including in manufacturing and construction, where trade bosses say six-figure jobs are sitting empty

“It’s a manufacturing hiring spree that is limited by worker sentiment and preferences about timing of work, not just working in those fields as well,” Dr. Nela Richardson told Fortune.
