  • The ADP gauge is closely watched for signs the labor market is cooling, and this softer reading may reinforce concerns about a broader economic slowdown.
  • Federal Reserve officials and markets are parsing employment and inflation data ahead of this week's FOMC meeting, where weaker hiring could ease pressure for further rate increases.
