Companies in the private sector added 62,000 jobs in March, payroll processing firm ADP said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The figure is above economists\u2019 estimates of a gain of 40,000 jobs. The prior month’s payrolls number was revised higher to a gain of 66,000 from an initially reported gain of 63,000.<\/p>\n

“Overall hiring is steady, but job growth continues to favor certain industries, including health care,” said ADP chief economist Nela Richardson. “In March, this solid performance was accompanied by a boost in pay gains for job-changers.”<\/p>\n

Education and health services added 58,000 positions, leading job creation in February. Construction added 19,000, information gained 16,000 and natural resources and mining added 11,000.<\/p>\n
