Let's hope this is not the beginning of the "R" word.

Washington – U.S. companies last month added the fewest jobs in nine years, a private survey found, as manufacturers, construction firms and mining companies cut workers. Payroll processor ADP said Wednesday that businesses added just 27,000 jobs in May, the fewest since March 2010. Jobs in construction fell 36,000 and in manufacturing by 3,000.

Small business – 49 or fewer employees – fared the worst, losing 52,000 workers last month.

May's results are a sharp contrast to the robust job creation ADP found in April. That month's now-revised new jobs totaled 271,000.
