ADP National Employment Report Preliminary Estimate Shows Job Growth Acceleration in September
The preliminary estimate for the week ending September 5, 2026 shows that U.S. private employers added an average of 20,000 jobs per week over four weeks, according to ADP's NER Pulse report. This marks a continued acceleration in hiring for the third consecutive week and reflects improving employment trends across sectors. The data is derived from seasonally adjusted, high-frequency estimates with a two-week lag to ensure accuracy. The numbers are preliminary and may be revised as more information becomes available. ADP Research collaborates with Stanford's Digital Economy Lab on these reports, which aim to provide timely insights into labor market dynamics for businesses and policymakers. The next NER Pulse update is scheduled for October 6, 2026.
