ADP National Employment Report: Private Sector Employment Increased by 37,000 Jobs in May; Annual Pay was Up 4.5%

ROSELAND, N.J. - June 4, 2025 - Private sector employment increased by 37,000 jobs in May and annual pay was up 4.5 percent year-over-year, according to the May ADP National Employment ReportTM produced by ADP Research in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab {"Stanford Lab"}. The ADP National Employment Report is an independent measure and high-frequency view of the private-sector labor market based on actual, anonymized payroll data of more than 25 million U.S. employees.

The jobs report and pay insights use ADP's fine-grained anonymized and aggregated payroll data to provide a representative picture of the private-sector labor market. The report details the current month's total private employment change, and weekly job data from the previous month. Because the underlying ADP payroll databases are continuously updated, the report provides a high-frequency, near real-time measure of U.S. employment. This measure reflects the number of employees on ADP client payrolls (Payroll Employment) to provide a richer understanding of the labor market. As of January 2025, ADP's Pay Insights measure captures nearly 14.8 million individual pay change observations each month, up from nearly 10 million when it launched.

"After a strong start to the year, hiring is losing momentum," said Dr. Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. "Pay growth, however, was little changed in May, holding at robust levels for both job-stayers and job-changers."

The second paragraph is a lot of boilerplate that tells you what ADP measures.

This is not the DOL report that comes out in two days, assuming Trump doesn’t order it delayed.

2. CNBC has a link up

I was in MIRT fooling around with a fusillade of damn spammers when the CNBC banner popped up!

3. That's very poor. Another reason I think we are in a recession. Folks need to recession-proof their finances.

That means stop your spending. No impulse buying. Save your money.

Combine that with the explosion of a massive hole in the national debt and Trump is destroying our economy.

Don’t say you weren’t warned. Get your finances in shape before interests rates skyrocket. Pay down your consumer debt. Close your wallet. It’s the only way forward.

4. That's pitiful but not surprising. The easiest way to ruin a good economy is to introduce chaos and uncertainty

And the Orange Monster likes to create chaos everywhere he goes, it's his special gift.
