ROSELAND, N.J., May 3, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Private sector employment increased by 296,000 jobs
in April and annual pay was up 6.7 percent year-over-year,
according to the April ADP® National Employment
Report™ produced by the ADP Research Institute®
in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab
("Stanford Lab").
The jobs report and pay insights use ADP's fine-grained
anonymized and aggregated payroll data of over 25 million U.S.
employees to provide a representative picture of the labor market.
The report details the current month's total private employment
change, and weekly job data from the previous month. ADP's pay
measure uniquely captures the earnings of a cohort of almost 10
million employees over a 12-month period.
"The slowdown in pay growth gives the clearest signal of what's
going on in the labor market right now," said Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP.
"Employers are hiring aggressively while holding pay gains in check
as workers come off the sidelines. Our data also shows fewer people
are switching jobs."
