ADP’s NER Pulse estimated that U.S. private employers added an average of 24,750 jobs per week for the four weeks ended September 26, 2026. Hiring slowed after five consecutive weeks of strengthening, although the four-week average remained above the 8,250 recorded for the week ended July 25, 2026. The estimates are preliminary, seasonally adjusted, and reported with a two-week lag, indicating a moderation in U.S. labor-market conditions rather than a finalized employment trend.
