ADP estimates that US private employment increased at an average pace of 29k in the four weeks to May 23rd, down from 30.5k in the four weeks to May 16th and the weakest pace since late March 2026.

• This week's ADP Pulse data point is a notable slowdown from April and early May readings.
• There were no revisions to any past data points, and the final NER dataset still has a large WoW decline of -377k in the week of March 28th (see large blue spike in graph).

ADP estimates that US private employers added an average of 35,750 in the four weeks to May 9th, down from 40,750 in the four weeks to May 2nd.

• According to the latest weekly ADP Pulse data point, the pace of hiring slowed slightly to a four-week average of 35,750 as of May 9th. Despite the slowdown, private sector job growth is still ahead of where it was in Q1 2026.
• ADP also revised down last week's data point from 42,250 to 40,750, still a series high.

ADP estimates that US private employers added an average of 42,250 jobs in the four weeks to May 2nd, up from 33,000 in the four weeks to April 25th.

• The first May 2026 weekly ADP Pulse print is the highest ever reported at 42,250. This strong pace comes after a slight dip in late April and similarly strong readings in early April.
• The data clearly show a strong labor market that has diverged from the volatile readings in late 2025.

ADP estimates that US private employers added an average of 33,000 jobs in the four weeks to April 25th, up from 30,250 in the four weeks to April 18th.

• The weekly ADP Pulse reading suggests the pace of private sector hiring has slowed slightly in the last three weeks, but remains stronger than at any point in 2025.
• No revisions were made to past data points in today's release.

ADP estimates that US private employers added an average of 39,250 jobs per week in the four weeks to April 11th, slightly lower than the pace of 40,250 per week in the four weeks to April 4th.

• The ADP Pulse weekly print maintains a strong pace in the first full week of April, with US private employers adding an avg of 39,250 jobs per week in the four weeks to April 11th.
• However, the interesting part of this week's update is a large downward revision of the four-week average through April 4th, down from 54,750 to 40,250 (though this is still a relatively strong growth rate).
• The bottom line is that the ADP data continues to signal that the labor market is strong and hiring demand has recovered from late 2025 weakness.

ADP estimates that US private employers added an average of 54,750 jobs per week in the four weeks to April 4th, a step up from the already strong pace of 40,250 in the four weeks to March 28th.

• The ADP Pulse preliminary weekly data point sets a new all-time high, reaching almost 55,000. This would also be a roughly 1.5 year high for the final NER weekly dataset if the pace holds up through revisions.
• The only revision to the data was an upward revision in last week's print (week of March 28th) of +1,000 to 40,250.

ADP estimates that US private employers added an average of 39,250 jobs in the four weeks to March 28th, a strong increase from 26,000 in the four weeks to March 21st.

• The latest weekly ADP Pulse reading points to a strong upswing in hiring momentum in March.
• The 39,250 reading is the highest preliminary weekly data point since ADP started the series. The last time ADP's NER data set (final weekly prints) recorded hiring this strong was the last week of December 2024.
• No revisions were reported in today's Pulse data.

ADP estimates that US private employers added an average of 26k in the four weeks to March 21st, up from 15.25k in the four weeks to March 14th.

• No revisions were reported in today's Pulse data.

ADP estimates that US private employers added 10,000 jobs in the four weeks to Mar 7th, up slightly from 9,000 avg in the four weeks to Feb 28th.

• Weekly ADP Pulse data point to a light pace of hiring in the first week of March, a four-week average of 10k or roughly 40k in the last month.
• ADP made no revisions to February's weekly data points, so the acceleration in hiring at the end of last month remains.

ADP estimates that US private employers add an average of 9,000 jobs in the four weeks to Feb 28th, down from 14,750 in the four weeks to Feb 21st.

• ADP's weekly NER Pulse data point to a slowdown in hiring in late February. The pace of 9k jobs added in the four weeks to Feb 28th is the weakest since Jan 24th. Today's update also included one revision.
• The average jobs added in the four weeks to Feb 21st was revised down from 15,500 to 14,750.

ADP estimates that US employers added 15,500 in the four weeks to Feb 21st, matching the pace seen in the four weeks to Feb 14th.

• ADP's weekly Pulse data points to a clear ramp-up in the pace of hiring in February, a contradiction with the BLS jobs report last week.
• In fact, the pace of growth measured in the 2nd and 3rd week of February was the fastest since the last week of November 2025.
• No major revisions were reported in the new weekly data points. Just a slight downgrade in the Feb 7th print from 12,750 to 12,000.
