The previous reading was 24.8K. No consensus forecast was listed on the feed for this release.
What it is
The ADP National Employment Report estimates the monthly change in private-sector payrolls using anonymised data from the payroll processor's own client base of roughly 25 million workers. It lands two days before the official jobs report.
Why it matters to traders
Traders use ADP as an early — if imperfect — preview of Friday's Non-Farm Payrolls. A large divergence from forecast can set the dollar's tone into the main event, even though the correlation between ADP and the official figure is loose.
Educational only — not a trade recommendation or a prediction of the outcome.
