ADP data shows private companies have cut jobs in four of the past six months, with November’s cuts being the biggest decline in 2.5 years.
ADP suspects that this condition occurs due to the vulnerability of small businesses which lost 120 thousand jobs in the last month.Meanwhile, medium and large businesses are still recruiting workers of 51 thousand and 39 thousand people.
ADP chief economist Nela Richardson called small businesses the earliest indicator of a weakening labor market in an unstable economy.
He explained that small businesses were hit by rising operational costs, consumer uncertainty, and the domino effect of the US government shutdown from October 1 to November 12.
“Supply is disrupted, prices remain high. Even if inflation is moderate, the cumulative increase in the last five years has reached 25 percent. That weighs heavily on small businesses,” said Richardson Wednesday (3/12) as quoted

According to Richardson, many small businesses are forced to hold back hiring by not replacing workers who leave and delaying expansion in order to reduce costs.
