ADP Employment Change 4-week average rises to 10,250 through January 31

* US private employers added an average of 10,250 jobs per week in late January.
* Job gains strengthen for a third consecutive week.

Employment in the United States (US) private sector continues to expand at a moderate pace, with companies adding an average of 10,250 jobs per week in the four weeks ending January 31, according to the NER Pulse, a weekly update of the monthly ADP National Employment Report.

The latest reading marks the third consecutive week of strengthening job gains, suggesting a gradual improvement in hiring momentum at the start of the year. The steady increase indicates that private employers maintain a cautious but positive approach to workforce expansion.

Some weeks it gets attention in the media, other times it doesn't. The monthly report always gets attention.

ADP will publish weekly US private payrolls data, estimates job gains averaged 14,250 in 4 weeks to Oct 11
WASHINGTON, Oct 28 (Reuters) - U.S. private payrolls increased by an average 14,250 jobs in the four weeks ending October 11, the ADP National Employment Report's inaugural weekly preliminary estimate showed on Tuesday.

ADP said in a statement it would publish a weekly preliminary estimate of the ADP National Employment Report every Tuesday effective October 28, based on its high-frequency data.

"The preliminary U.S. estimate will provide a four-week moving average of the latest total private employment change, offering the most current, representative picture of the private-sector labor market," ADP said.

The monthly employment report, jointly developed with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, will continue to be published.


This weeks number, while it may have increased 2 weeks in a row, 10,250 jobs per week is still terrible.

I had a hard time finding any news source that thought it merited any attention. I should take the hint. I probably won't do this again next week.

Thanks for writing. I appreciate the feedback.
