Private payroll expanded by 183,000 jobs in February, according to the ADP human resources company, which also revised its estimate for January up from 213,000 to 300,000.

While below the 234,000 average of 2018, the February job growth is expected to still push unemployment down, since the economy needs only about 100,000 more jobs a month to keep up with people’s aging out of the workforce.
