March payroll jobs data disappointed hugely this morning, with total payroll jobs up only 98,000 and private-sector jobs up only 89,000, alongside downward revisions of 38,000 and 23,000, respectively, to February data for these aggregates. The "core" jobs measure we track—private-sector jobs excluding construction and retailing—was only a bit better, up 113,000 in March and a downward revision of 9,000 to February data. To add insult to injury, these soft gains come in contrast to an ADP report earlier this week suggesting very strong March payroll jobs growth after a strong gain in February.
