- U.S. companies hired 183,000 workers in February, falling short of analyst forecasts, while private-sector job growth in January was much stronger than previously thought, a report by payrolls processor ADP showed on Wednesday. Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast the ADP National Employment Report would show a gain of 189,000 jobs last month.
