WASHINGTON -- A survey shows U.S. businesses added 166,000 jobs last month, a sign of only modest improvement in hiring.
Payroll company Automatic Data Processing (ADP) said Wednesday that employers added just 159,000 jobs in August and 161,000 in July, both slightly lower than the previous estimates.
