Numbers: Private sector employers hired 275,000 people in April, said Wednesday ADP, a payroll services provider. This comes at the top of the consensus of economists surveyed by Econoday for 180,000 additional jobs.

What happened: ADP's estimate of employment earnings is designed to give investors a good reading of the report on non-farm wages, followed more closely, released Friday by the Department of Labor. However, Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics and architect of the ADP report, warned that market players should not be dulled by US job numbers.

"This number overestimates the case," Zandi told CNBC.

ADP increases in April were concentrated in the services sector: 223,000 jobs were created. In fact, only the natural resource, mining and information sectors lost jobs during the month.

Small businesses have created 77,000 jobs, medium-sized businesses, 145,000, and large businesses, 53,000 jobs created.

The number of ADPs for the month of March, which was well below that of the Department of Labor, was increased by 22,000.

Big picture: If the consensus forecast for Friday's Labor Department publication is correct, the MarketWatch consensus predicts a gain of 210,000 euros, while other forecasts are a bit lower, "that would be consistent with a slowdown in growth of the job, "Zandi said Wednesday. "The growth of employment is still strong, but it slows down permanently, which is consistent with a general slowdown in the economy."

What they say: "It's a big surprise and it's very difficult to reconcile the evidence of an investigation. All of the private sector indicators we track suggest that the demand for labor is between 175 and 200,000 people per month, "said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macro.

"This month's ADP report does not seem to contain any obvious distortions – even though temperatures have been a bit lighter than usual – so we can not just ignore it. The survey is not a reliable indicator of official payroll figures every month, but the error from our PDA forecast is large enough to tip the needle in our estimate for Friday's official report. ; we are now expecting the BLS to report an increase of 240,000 jobs in April, "an increase of 40,000 jobs.
