ADP Reports Private-Sector Job Growth of 90,000 in September
The ADP National Employment Report shows that private-sector employment increased by 90,000 jobs in September 2026. This marks a rebound after three months of slower hiring and was driven primarily by gains in education and health care as well as leisure and hospitality sectors. Base pay for all workers rose 3.2% year-over-year while gross pay increased by 4.7%. Workers who stayed at the same job saw base pay growth of 3.0%, compared to a stronger increase of 4.8% among those who changed jobs. Gross pay also grew more significantly—by 7.3% for job-changers versus 4.4% for job-stayers. The report is based on anonymized payroll data from over 26 million U.S. private-sector employees and provides a high-frequency view of labor market trends.
