Economists surveyed by Dow Jones were expecting 200,000 jobs added in August.
ADP also reported that pay growth slowed for workers who changed jobs and those who stayed in their current positions.
"This month's numbers are consistent with the pace of job creation before the pandemic," Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP, said in a press release."After two years of exceptional gains tied to the recovery, we're moving toward more sustainable growth in pay and employment as the economic effects of the pandemic recede.
The Federal Reserve hiked rates to the highest in 22 years in July and Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled last week that the central bank was prepared to raise further this year. The ADP report has traditionally been seen as a signal of what the Department of Labor's monthly jobs report will show. However, the firm did change its methodology last year, which makes its predictive tendencies less clear.
