US Private Hiring Shows First Weekly Uptick Since May

The latest reading reflects a recovery from the 26,500 average recorded for the week ending May 30. While these preliminary figures remain subject to revision as more payroll data flows into the system, the trend provides a granular look at labor market activity. The NER Pulse utilizes a four-week moving average to smooth out volatility, offering a clearer picture of real-time employment patterns than single-week snapshots.

Produced in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, the report serves as a high-frequency companion to the broader monthly ADP National Employment Report. The data maintains a two-week lag to ensure accuracy. The next update is scheduled for release on July 7, 2026.
