Key Points
Companies added 63,000 workers in February, an improvement from the downwardly revised 11,000 in January and better than the consensus estimate for 48,000.
Most of the hiring came in just two sectors: health services and construction. Job growth in other sectors either was flat or lower.
Pay grew 4.5% for those staying in their jobs while wage gains for job switchers moved down to 6.3%, the smallest gap since ADP began tracking the metric.
