“Job gains continued to be strong in the month of July,” said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of
the ADP Research Institute. “However, as the labor market tightens employers may find it more difficult
to recruit qualified workers.”
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, said, “The American job machine continues to operate
in high gear. Job gains are broad-based across industries and company sizes, with only manufacturers
reducing their payrolls. At this pace of job growth, unemployment will continue to quickly decline.”

The matched sample used to develop the ADP National Employment Report was derived from ADP
payroll data, which represents 411,000 U.S. clients employing nearly 24 million workers in the U.S. The
June total of jobs added was revised up from 158,000 to 191,000.

About the ADP National Employment Report®
The ADP National Employment Report® is a monthly measure of the change in total U.S. nonfarm private
employment derived from actual, anonymous payroll data of client companies served by ADP®, a leading
provider of human capital management solutions. The report, which measures nearly 24 million U.S.
workers, is produced by the ADP Research Institute®, a specialized group within the company that
provides insights around employment trends and workforce strategy, in collaboration with Moody’s
Analytics, Inc.
Each month, ADP issues the ADP National Employment Report as part of the company’s commitment to
adding deeper insights into the U.S. labor market and providing businesses, governments and others with
a source of credible and valuable information. The ADP National Employment Report is broadly
distributed to the public each month, free of charge.
The data for this report is collected for pay periods that can be interpolated to include the week of the 12th
of each month, and processed with statistical methodologies similar to those used by the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics to compute employment from its monthly survey of establishments. Due to this
processing, this subset is modified to make it indicative of national employment levels; therefore, the
resulting employment changes computed for the ADP National Employment Report are not representative
of changes in ADP’s total base of U.S. business clients.
For a description of the underlying data and the statistical model used to create this report, please see the
ADP National Employment Report: Development Methodology.
