ADP said private payrolls rose 44,000 in July, below the 75,000 consensus cited by market reports and down from June’s 98,000 gain, putting Friday’s jobs report back in focus.

ADP's National Employment Report showed 109,000 private sector jobs added in April 2026 — the strongest monthly gain since January 2025. The figure came in 9.2% below economist consensus of 120,000, leaving markets weighing two competing signals: the labor market is recovering but slowly. The official BLS Non-Farm Payrolls report, due later this week, is the definitive read on US labor market health.
