Private sector employment increased by 109,000 jobs in April and pay was up 4.4% year-over-year according to the April ADP National Employment Report produced by ADP Research in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab.
The ADP National Employment Report is an independent measure of the labor market based on the anonymized weekly payroll data of more than 26 million private-sector employees in the United States. ADP’s Pay Insights captures over 15 million individual pay change observations each month.
Together, the jobs report and pay insights use ADP’s fine-grained data to provide a representative and high frequency picture of the private-sector labor market.
“Small and large employers are hiring, but we’re seeing softness in the middle,” said Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. “Large companies have resources to deploy, and small ones are the most nimble, both important advantages in a complex labor environment.”
