ADP’s February National Employment Report shows private-sector payrolls rose by 63,000, with year-over-year pay for job-stayers up 4.5% and pay for job-changers at 6.3%; hiring was strongest in construction and education/health services, with small establishments driving most gains (about 60,000). Pay gains for staying workers remained steady while the pay premium for switching jobs hit a record low, and January’s job total was revised downward (22,000 to 11,000).
Private employers added 63,000 jobs in February per ADP, topping the downwardly revised 11,000 in January and beating expectations. Hiring was concentrated in education and health services (58,000) and construction (19,000), with most other sectors flat. Wages rose 4.5% for stayers and 6.3% for job switchers, the smallest gap since ADP began tracking the metric. Job gains were strongest at smaller firms, and breadth remained limited ahead of Friday’s Bureau of Labor Statistics payrolls release.
ADP's January private-sector payrolls rose just 22,000, far behind economists' 45,000 forecast and December's revised 37,000. Gains were led entirely by education and health services (+74,000), while other sectors weakened—professional and business services shed 57,000 and manufacturing fell 8,000. Wage growth remains solid (4.5% for stayers; 6.4% for job-changers). With the government shutdown delaying the official January jobs report, data for January will be released on February 11, with CPI due February 13, highlighting a cooling labor market despite resilient wages.
Dow Jones futures tick up after ADP’s January payrolls show a 22,000 gain (far below the 45,000 consensus), continuing a multi-year slowdown in private hiring even as wage growth remains firm; 2025 private payrolls total 398,000 (vs. 771,000 in 2024). Hiring was led by education and healthcare (74,000), while manufacturing payrolls fell by 8,000; mid-sized firms added 47,000, small businesses were flat, and large payrolls declined by 18,000.
ADP data show January private payrolls up just 22,000, well below forecasts of ~45,000 and December's revised 37,000; gains were led by a 74,000 increase in education and health services, with other sectors mostly flat or shrinking and wage growth about 4.5% for retained workers. The closely watched BLS nonfarm payrolls release is delayed by a partial government shutdown.
In October, private companies in the U.S. added only 42,000 jobs, indicating continued labor market tightness amid a government shutdown that has delayed official employment data. The ADP report shows modest job growth, with notable declines in leisure and hospitality, and highlights concerns about small business employment and consumer resilience. Major companies are also reducing jobs, and the lack of official data complicates economic assessment.
The US private sector added 42,000 jobs in October, marking a recovery after previous losses, but the growth is slow and concentrated in certain sectors, raising concerns about the overall health of the economy amid a slowdown and limited government data due to a shutdown.
ADP announced the release of a weekly preliminary U.S. employment estimate, providing near real-time data on private-sector job changes, with an estimated increase of 14,250 jobs over four weeks ending October 11, 2025, complementing their monthly comprehensive jobs report.
The suspension of ADP's access to employment data highlights the importance of government-produced economic data, as private sector sources, despite their value, cannot fully replace the comprehensive and reliable information provided by government agencies, especially during times of data collection disruptions like government shutdowns.
Fantasy analysts are fading certain players like Jalen Brunson and James Harden at their current ADPs for the 2025-26 season, citing concerns over potential decreases in production due to team changes, age, and increased competition for touches, while highlighting some players they believe are overvalued in drafts.
The ADP report revealed a surprising private sector job loss in September amid the government shutdown, raising economic concerns and increasing the likelihood of a Fed rate cut on October 29.
