Insights
The January ADP employment data reveals a complex labor market dynamic that warrants careful analysis. The headline 183,000 jobs added represents a robust start to 2025, but the underlying details paint a nuanced picture. The 4.7% year-over-year wage growth for job-stayers suggests continued wage pressure, though moderating from previous peaks.
Several key trends deserve attention: First, the -13,000 decline in manufacturing jobs amid overall growth signals potential weakness in the industrial sector, possibly reflecting ongoing supply chain adjustments and shifting trade patterns. Second, the strong showing in leisure/hospitality (+54,000) and trade/transportation/utilities (+56,000) indicates resilient consumer spending.
The wage data reveals important structural shifts: The 6.8% pay growth for job-changers versus 4.7% for job-stayers demonstrates continued labor market dynamism, though the gap is narrowing compared to previous periods. The size-based wage differentials are particularly telling - small firms (1-19 employees) showing only 2.9% wage growth suggests mounting pressure on smaller businesses.
The regional disparity is significant, with the West (+70,000) and Midwest (+64,000) leading growth while the West South Central region lost 19,000 jobs, indicating uneven economic recovery patterns that could influence regional investment strategies.
The expanded methodology now capturing 14.8 million monthly pay observations provides enhanced statistical reliability, making this report a more robust indicator of labor market trends. This methodological improvement arrives at a important time as markets seek clarity on wage inflation trajectories.
The jobs report and pay insights use ADP's fine-grained anonymized and aggregated payroll data to provide a representative picture of the private-sector labor market. The report details the current month's total private employment change, and weekly job data from the previous month. Because the underlying ADP payroll databases are continuously updated, the report provides a high-frequency, near real-time measure of
"We had a strong start to 2025 but it masked a dichotomy in the labor market," said Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. "Consumer-facing industries drove hiring, while job growth was weaker in business services and production."

ADP Pay Insights Methodology Enhancements
ADP Pay Insights uses employer payroll data to track the wages and salaries of individual workers and computes year-over-year changes in pay. Beginning in January 2025, the Pay Insights base data set will include nearly 22.3 million workers, up from about 14 million.
This expanded sample size is the result of improved industry code matching and an enhanced imputational model.
From this larger sample, Pay Insights can make more than 14.8 million pay-change observations each month, up from nearly 10 million when it launched. Included in this sample are job-stayers and job-changers.
The monthly sample of job-stayers – those unique worker-employer pairings observed in both the current month and the 12 months earlier – has grown from more than 7.7 million to more than 13.8 million.
The sample of job-changers – those individuals whose current job is different than the one they held 12 months earlier – has grown from approximately 310,000 to more than 1 million.
With this change, the Pay Insights time series also has expanded to begin in December 2018, from October 2019. Because the methodology requires two years of observation to compute pay growth, the series will be reported from November 2020.
