Private sector job growth in the U.S. reached 62,000 in March, slightly below February's revised figure but above the expected 39,000, driven mainly by education, health services, and construction. Health care's strong performance followed resolution of a strike that had impacted prior numbers. Small businesses led hiring, adding 85,000 jobs, while larger firms saw declines. Wage growth remained steady, and this report precedes the official government jobs data expected soon, with forecasts predicting a modest gain and steady unemployment.
