Ahead of Friday’s monthly employment report, ADP said before-the-bell Wednesday that U.S. companies cut 301,000 jobs in January as the spread of the Covid omicron variant slammed hiring. Economists had expected growth of 200,000 new private-sector positions. December was downwardly revised to a 776,000 gain. It’s worth noting that during the pandemic, the ADP numbers have not been the best indicator of the government’s overall jobs report.
