About This Event
The ADP non-farm employment change for July will be released.
Previous: 95K
Forecast: 70K
The ADP non-farm employment change measures the monthly change in private employment based on the payroll data of around 400,000 U.S. business clients, excluding the farming sector. A higher than expected employment change is bullish, while a lower than expected employment change is bearish.
Private businesses in the US added 38K jobs in August 2026, the least since January, following an upwardly revised 46K in July and below forecasts of 47K, reflecting a broader slowdown in the labor market. Education and health care (45K), construction (12K), leisure and hospitality (16K) and financial activities (6K) showed solid hiring. In contrast, manufacturing (-17K), professional services (-16K), trade, transportation and utilities (-5K), natural resources and mining (-5K) and information (-4K) shed jobs. Large companies added 34K jobs while those with fewer than 50 employees added 3K. Meanwhile, pay gains held steady. "Pay can tell us a lot about today's choppy hiring. To understand hiring patterns, you have to look deeply into where pay growth is accelerating, where it's slowing, and for whom. Once-predictable wage growth has been overtaken by the complexities of demographic change, persistent inflation, and AI's effects on jobs", according to Dr. Nela Richardson, ADP. source: Automatic Data Processing, Inc.
