The ADP Nonfarm Employment Change report for July has been released, offering early insight into the U.S. private sector labor market.
- Forecast: 77,000
- Previous: -33,000
- Actual: 104.000
In July, ADP private sector employment increased by 104,000, exceeding the market expectation of 77,000. Employers added 137,000 more jobs compared to the previous month, showing they continue to expand their workforce.
Employment growth was particularly notable in the services sector, especially in professional and education-related jobs. Although this strong data is unlikely to prompt an immediate change in the Fed’s tight monetary policy, it signals that the labor market remains robust. This data is considered a leading indicator ahead of the official Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) report released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
What is the ADP Nonfarm Employment Report?
ADP (Automatic Data Processing) publishes this report monthly to measure net job changes in the U.S. private sector, excluding government and agricultural jobs. It collects payroll data from approximately 400,000 to 460,000 businesses, covering over 25 million workers.
Use in Markets
Investors often interpret stronger-than-expected ADP numbers as bullish for the U.S. dollar and equities, while weaker results can trigger a shift to safe-haven assets. Federal Reserve officials also monitor the data closely when evaluating labor market trends and monetary policy.
