ADP National Employment Report Preliminary Estimate for July 25, 2026

For the four weeks ending July 25, 2026, U.S. private employers added an average of 8,250 jobs per week, according to the NER Pulse, a weekly update of the monthly ADP National Employment Report (NER). Hiring slowed for the sixth straight week. These numbers are preliminary and could change as new data is added.

The NER Pulse is an estimate of the week-over-week change in employment based on a four-week moving average. These estimates are based on ADP's finely tuned, high-frequency data. The data is seasonally adjusted and have a two-week lag to allow for more complete and accurate estimates of real-time employment trends.

The ADP National Employment Report and the NER Pulse are produced by ADP Research in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab.
