“The job market is revving back up as the Delta-wave of the pandemic winds down,” Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, said in a statement.

“As long as the pandemic remains contained, more big job gains are likely in coming months.

Large firms dominated the job additions but Small firms are coming back strong:

  • Small firms (1-49) added 115k jobs in Oct.

  • Medium firms (50-499) added 114k jobs in Oct.

  • Firms with over 500 employees added 342k jobs

The 'strong' ADP print provides more support for Powell to unleash the taper later today.
