ADP Reports 90,000 Private Jobs Added in September, Beating Recent Weakness
ADP sits 38% above its 52-week low of $188.16.
Summary
ADP's September National Employment Report shows private employers added 90,000 jobs, a sharp rebound from August's 38,000 and July's 44,000, and more than expected. The figure is a key labor market indicator and directly reflects ADP's payroll processing data, making it a material data point for the company's core business. This follows two consecutive months of weak payroll growth, suggesting a potential turnaround in hiring trends. The report is widely watched by economists and traders as a preview of the official BLS jobs report, adding to its market-moving potential.
