Private payrolls rose by 109,000 in April, topping expectations, ADP says
Wages for continuing workers rose 4.4% as gains in education, health services and trade helped offset weakness in professional services.
- On Wednesday, the ADP National Employment Report showed U.S. private employers added 109,000 jobs in April, up from a revised 61,000 in March, marking the strongest monthly gain since January 2025.
- Education and health services dominated hiring with 61,000 new positions, while small firms contributed 65,000 of the gains, according to analysis from ADP Research and the Stanford Digital Economy Lab.
- Pay for job-stayers rose 4.4% year-over-year, while compensation for job-changers remained steady at 6.6%, according to ADP's Pay Insights, signaling persistent labor-market tightness.
- The stronger-than-expected jobs data immediately reduced near-term pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, prompting investors to reprice bond yields and risk allocations.
- Investors now await the Bureau of Labor Statistics' official employment report on Friday, as ADP's report has historically served as a poor predictor of government payroll figures.
