ADP: US Private Employers Added 11,750 Jobs Weekly in Early August

U.S. private employers added an average of 11,750 jobs per week during the four-week period ending August 8, 2026. The figures were released as part of the NER Pulse, a weekly update to the monthly ADP National Employment Report.

The hiring pace increased for the second consecutive week, indicating a rebound after a previous slowdown. This weekly snapshot of the labor market offers timely insights into employment trends.

The ADP NER Pulse report draws on data from over 25 million U.S. workers. It aims to provide a more current view of labor market conditions than traditional monthly reports.

These figures suggest continued job growth, though the rate appears more moderate compared to peak periods reported earlier. A more comprehensive analysis of August's employment development is expected with the full monthly ADP National Employment Report.
