Wall Street has ratcheted up expectations for how many new U.S. jobs were created in February after a glowing report from the nation’s largest processor of worker paychecks.

ADP, the company that handles checks for millions of Americans, said the private sector added 298,000 new jobs in February. That’s the third-highest number during a current recovery nearing its eighth year.

The boffo report spurred some Wall Street forecaster to raise their projections for the government’s report on hiring that will be unveiled on Friday. Economists polled by MarketWatch estimate 210,000 jobs were added last month, up from a prior tally of 200,000.

As is always the case, though, economists urge caution.

The ADP and official government jobs report don’t always line up month to month, and hiring trends early in the year are often distorted by weather. February was warmer than usual, for instance, and that may have boosted employment in industries such as construction.

ADP reported a stellar 66,000 construction jobs added in February, the best single month for that sector in a decade.

What is clear is that hiring has shown little dropoff since last year. What’s more, businesses are optimistic about many of the policies of new President Donald Trump, whose administration is arguably the most pro-business since Ronald Reagan.

Still, many economists are doubtful job creation can continue to increase at 200,000 a month after years of steady hiring that’s reduced the unemployment rate below 5%. More and more companies complain they cannot find enough skilled workers to fill a record number of open jobs.
