Economists forecast that private payrolls increased by 180,000, according to Bloomberg.

Here's a preview from Craig Erlam, a senior market analyst at Oanda:

Ahead of tomorrow's jobs report, the ADP release will be the most closely watched, despite its tendency to not provide an accurate indication of the official NFP release. A number in line with expectations would suggest tomorrow's number will be good enough to convince the Federal Reserve that a hike at the meeting in two weeks' time is still a good decision.

Given the data we've seen since the start of the year though, a bad report tomorrow may worry some officials and it will be interesting to see what that does to market expectations, with a hike currently 91% priced in, according to the CME Group FedWatch Tool.
