Private-sector employment in the United States fell by 491,000 jobs in April, according to the ADP employment index released Wednesday. The March number was revised higher to a decline of 708,000 from a decline of 742,000. The index comes two days before the government releases its estimate of April nonfarm payrolls. Economists are looking for payrolls to drop by 580,000 in the government survey, which would be the smallest decline since October.
