Labour market analytics · ADP, Inc.

ADP Research Institute

ADP's research arm publishing free monthly U.S. labor market reports built from anonymized, aggregated ADP payroll data.

The ADP Research Institute publishes labor market indicators derived from ADP's own payroll-processing data across a large share of U.S. private-sector employers, rather than from surveys, giving it a payroll-verified alternative to survey-based government employment statistics. Its flagship ADP National Employment Report tracks monthly change in U.S. private-sector employment, often watched ahead of the U.S. government's official jobs report. Pay Insights tracks year-over-year pay growth, split between job-stayers and job-changers, and other releases cover employee sentiment and workplace trends. The reports are free and published publicly, aimed at economists, employers, policymakers, investors and journalists tracking the labor market, rather than sold as a data product with paid tiers.
