The ADP Small Business Report®, a subset
of the ADP National Employment Report, is a measure of nonfarm private
employment, derived from aggregated and anonymous payroll data that represents approximately
360,000
of ADP's 500,000 U.S. business clients and roughly
22 million
employees working in all 19 of the major North American Industrial Classification
(NAICS) private industrial sectors. The ADP National Employment Report
was developed to help meet the need for additional timely and accurate estimates
of short-term movements in the national labor market among economists, financial
professionals, and government policy-makers. Because ADP pays 1-in-6 private sector
employees in the United States every pay period across a broad range of industries,
firm sizes, and geographies, it has a unique and significant perspective on the
U.S. labor market.
