Insights

ADP's September report reveals concerning private sector job losses across multiple industries, suggesting economic momentum may be weakening despite wage growth.

The September ADP National Employment Report signals a potential softening in the labor market, with private employers shedding 32,000 jobs after August figures were revised dramatically downward from +54,000 to -3,000. This marks a significant shift from previous growth trends and suggests the labor market might be cooling more rapidly than anticipated despite strong Q2 economic growth.

The sector-level data reveals concerning breadth to the weakness. Eight out of eleven industry sectors reported job losses, with professional/business services (-13,000), leisure/hospitality (-19,000), and financial activities (-9,000) experiencing the largest declines. The only meaningful bright spot was education/health services, which added 33,000 jobs.

Regional data shows particular weakness in the Midwest (-63,000 jobs), specifically in the East North Central division (-67,000), which includes industrial states like Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois. This could indicate manufacturing-related weakness spreading beyond the direct manufacturing sector.

Company size dynamics are particularly telling: small (-40,000) and medium-sized businesses (-20,000) reduced headcount, while large enterprises with 500+ employees added 33,000 jobs. This divergence suggests smaller businesses may be feeling economic pressures more acutely.

Annual pay growth remained relatively stable at 4.5% for job-stayers and 6.6% for job-changers (down from 7.1% in August). This continuing wage growth amid job losses creates a complex picture for inflation considerations and monetary policy decisions.

ROSELAND, N.J., Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Private sector employment shed 32,000 jobs in September and pay was up 4.5 percent year-over-year according to the September ADP National Employment Report® produced by ADP Research in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab ("Stanford 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 nearly 14.8 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.

"Despite the strong economic growth we saw in the second quarter, this month's release further validates what we've been seeing in the labor market, that U.S. employers have been cautious with hiring," said Dr. Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP.

Statement on September Preliminary Benchmark
In September, ADP conducted a preliminary rebenchmarking of the National  Employment Report based on full-year 2024 results from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

This recalibration resulted in a reduction of 43,000 jobs in the September 2025 ADP National Employment Report. The number of jobs created in August 2025 was revised from 54,000 to -3,000.

ADP's full-year benchmarking will take place in February 2026 with the publication of the January 2026 National Employment Report.

Note: The most recent release of the QCEW contained a higher-than-normal number of missing or redacted values for establishment size by NAICS sector and geography subgroups. This required the benchmark to be calculated at a coarser granularity than in previous years.
