ADP’s National Employment Report preliminary estimate indicated that U.S. private employers added an average of 9,500 jobs per week in the four weeks ending August 1, 2026. This represented the first increase after seven consecutive weeks of decline, suggesting a potential pause in deterioration in private-sector labor demand. ADP Research and Stanford Digital Economy Lab produce the NER Pulse using a four-week moving average, with the preliminary figures subject to revision.
