ADP is only private jobs, whereas BLS is also government, which has had job losses. If anything this MAY paint a misleadingly positive overall picture.

I guess we'll know here soon.

Most of the federal losses likely won't show up in the report this week as they were after the reporting window (Feb 15th or something like that?).

The April one is likely where it's really going to show up.

Assuming we have anything close to reliable data coming out of BLS going forward.

That's a hilarious comment given the complaints about the BLS reports the last 4 years.

look up BLS versus household survey and maybe you can see some of the hand wringing...
