Private sector employment increased by 208,000 jobs in September and annual pay was up 7.8% year-over-year, according to the September ADP National Employment Reportproduced 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.

“We are continuing to see steady job gains,” said Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. “While job stayers saw a pay increase, annual pay growth for job changers in September is down from August.”
Job growth picked up in September
Businesses created 208,000 jobs in September, up from a revised 185,000 in August, as schools reopened and pandemic concerns receded. But while job growth is stable, it remains below the recent three-month average.
Job changers lost momentum in September
Job changers, who have been notching double-digit, year-over-year gains since the summer of 2021, lost momentum in September. Their annual pay rose 15.7 percent, down from a revised 16.2 percent gain in August. It’s the biggest deceleration in the three-year history of our data. For job stayers, annual pay rose 7.8 percent in September from a year ago, up from a revised 7.7 percent in August.
