It draws on anonymized payroll records covering more than 26 million workers, providing a view of employment based on companies\u2019 payroll data. The report includes breakdowns by industry, business size and region, helping readers see where employment is expanding or contracting. Its accompanying pay data also track wage growth among workers who stay in their jobs and those who change employers. <\/p>\n<p>ADP is often discussed alongside nonfarm payrolls, or NFP, the government\u2019s monthly measure of payroll employment published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The main distinction is coverage: ADP measures private employment, while the headline NFP figure includes government jobs. This means the closest comparison is between ADP and the private payroll component of the BLS report, rather than the overall NFP number. BLS gathers its figures through a survey of businesses and government agencies, whereas ADP uses records generated through its payroll operations. <\/p>\n<p>The broader government Employment Situation report also contains the unemployment rate, which comes from a separate household survey. Neither the NFP payroll count nor ADP\u2019s employment estimate should be confused with that measure. NFP counts jobs, so someone holding two payroll jobs can be counted twice. The government\u2019s initial payroll estimates are revised in the following two months and subsequently benchmarked against more comprehensive employment records. <\/p>\n<p>Although ADP can help inform expectations ahead of the government release, it explicitly states that its report is not designed to forecast NFP. Differences in data sources, coverage and statistical methods mean the two monthly figures can diverge. ADP therefore provides an additional perspective on private employment, while NFP offers the broader official picture of payroll employment across the U.S. economy. <\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Adam Button at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prior was +38K Construction +15K Manufacturing +17K Natural resources and mining -1K Financial activities -16K Professional and business services -11K Education and health services +55K Leisure and hospitality +22K Wages for all&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-439128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=439128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439128\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=439128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=439128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=439128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
