SUMMARY:US ADP Employment Report September 2026
DESCRIPTION:Next US ADP Employment Report: Wednesday\, September 2\, 2026 at 8:15 am ET (1:15 pm London). \nDate to be confirmed by the publisher; this is the scheduled date. \n\nConsensus\nNot yet published\nActual\nPending\n\nFull schedule and background: US ADP Employment Report. \nUpdated August 25\, 2026 \n\nThe US ADP Employment Report for August 2026 is scheduled for release on September 2\, 2026 at 8:15 am ET (1:15 pm London time)\, published by ADP Research in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab. The report covers private-sector payroll changes and pay growth for August 2026. Full schedule and background: US ADP Employment Report. \nWhat is the ADP Employment Report?\nThe ADP National Employment Report measures the monthly change in private-sector jobs in the United States. Unlike the government’s official jobs figures\, it is built from anonymised payroll data covering more than 26 million employees at businesses that use ADP’s payroll systems\, rather than a survey. This gives it a real-time view of hiring and firing across the economy\, broken down by company size\, industry and region. \nAlongside the headline jobs number\, ADP publishes a pay growth measure that tracks annual wage changes separately for “job-stayers” (people who keep the same employer) and “job-changers” (people who switch jobs). A widening gap between the two can signal that employers are having to pay up to attract new staff\, a sign of a tight labour market\, or that job-switching has become less rewarding\, a sign of a cooling one. \nMarkets watch the release closely because it lands two days before the government’s official non-farm payrolls report on the first Friday of the month\, giving traders and economists an early\, if imperfect\, signal of what that bigger release might show. Historically\, ADP’s monthly figure has not tracked the official payrolls number with great precision\, so investors treat it as a directional guide rather than a firm prediction. \nWhen is the August ADP employment report released?\nADP has confirmed that the August 2026 National Employment Report will be published on September 2\, 2026 at 8:15 am ET (1:15 pm London time)\, according to ADP’s own press materials. ADP typically releases its monthly report on the Wednesday two business days before the US government’s non-farm payrolls report\, though the exact date can shift around holidays such as Labor Day. This page reflects the currently scheduled date; readers should treat the timing as ADP’s usual pattern unless the company issues a change. \nThe report is published on ADP’s own newsroom and research site\, and is picked up immediately by financial data providers and news wires. \nWhat is the consensus forecast?\nAs of publication\, a consensus forecast for the August 2026 ADP report has not yet been published. Economist surveys for ADP releases are typically compiled by Reuters\, Bloomberg and Dow Jones in the days immediately before release\, so a forecast is likely to appear closer to September 2\, 2026. \nThe most recent published reading is for July 2026. Private-sector employment rose by 44\,000 jobs\, well below the 68\,000 to 70\,000 gain that economists polled by Dow Jones and Reuters had expected\, according to ADP’s July release. Annual pay growth for job-stayers held at 4.4% year-on-year\, while pay growth for job-changers accelerated to 7.0%. \n\n\n\nMeasure\nPrior (July 2026)\nConsensus (August 2026)\n\n\n\n\nPrivate payrolls change\n+44\,000\nNot yet published\n\n\nAnnual pay growth\, job-stayers\n4.4%\nNot yet published\n\n\n\nWhat the result could mean\n\n\n\nScenario\nLikely market read\nWhat it means in plain English\n\n\n\n\nAbove consensus\nCould be read as evidence the labour market is holding up better than feared\, potentially reducing bets on near-term interest rate cuts\nMore jobs were added than expected\, which may ease worries about a sharp slowdown in hiring\n\n\nIn line with consensus\nLikely to have limited market impact on its own\, with attention shifting quickly to the official payrolls report two days later\nThe labour market is behaving broadly as economists expected\, so little changes\n\n\nBelow consensus\nMay reinforce concerns about a cooling labour market and could firm up expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts\, according to commentary from economists cited by outlets such as Reuters and CNBC around prior releases\nFewer jobs were added than expected\, which can be a sign hiring is slowing\n\n\n\nThese are possible market reactions\, not predictions. ADP’s monthly figure has at times diverged sharply from the official non-farm payrolls number\, so any single reading is treated with caution by economists. \nWhy does this release matter right now?\nPrivate-sector hiring has slowed markedly through 2026. ADP reported gains of 63\,000 in February\, 62\,000 in March\, 109\,000 in April and 122\,000 in May\, before hiring cooled sharply to 98\,000 in June (later revised to 95\,000) and then to just 44\,000 in July\, according to ADP’s own releases. ADP’s weekly “NER Pulse” data\, which tracks employment on a four-week rolling basis\, showed a pickup to roughly 9\,500 jobs added per week in the four weeks to August 1\, 2026\, following several weeks of decline\, according to ADP Research. \nThe Federal Reserve has repeatedly said it is watching labour market data closely as it weighs the pace of any further interest rate moves\, alongside inflation figures. A weak reading in the ADP report\, followed by a soft official payrolls number\, tends to strengthen market expectations for rate cuts\, while stronger figures can push those expectations back. Wage growth data also matters for the inflation outlook\, since persistent strong pay gains for job-switchers can signal continued upward pressure on labour costs. \n\n\n\nMonth\nPrivate payrolls change\n\n\n\n\nFebruary 2026\n+63\,000\n\n\nMarch 2026\n+62\,000\n\n\nApril 2026\n+109\,000\n\n\nMay 2026\n+122\,000\n\n\nJune 2026 (revised)\n+95\,000\n\n\nJuly 2026\n+44\,000\n\n\n\nWhat It Means for Your Money\n\nMortgages and loan rates: Weaker-than-expected hiring figures tend to increase bets on Federal Reserve interest rate cuts\, which can feed through to lower mortgage and borrowing rates in the US over time\, and can also influence sentiment in UK and eurozone bond markets given how closely global rate expectations are linked.\nSavings: If the jobs data supports further rate cuts\, savers holding cash in interest-bearing accounts may eventually see lower returns as central banks ease policy.\nJobs and wages: A slowdown in private hiring\, as seen through 2026\, can mean fewer job openings and slower wage growth for workers changing jobs\, though ADP data suggests pay for job-stayers has remained fairly stable.\nInvestments and pensions: Equity markets often react to jobs data because it shapes expectations for interest rates\, which affect company borrowing costs and valuations. A much weaker or stronger than expected reading can move US stock indices and\, through global market linkages\, indices in London\, Frankfurt and Tokyo.\nCurrencies: A weak US jobs signal can weigh on the dollar if it strengthens expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts\, which in turn can support the value of the pound and the euro against the dollar\, all else being equal.\n\nRelated events\n\nUS non-farm payrolls report\, typically released the first Friday of each month by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.\nFederal Reserve interest rate decisions\, which weigh labour market data alongside inflation figures.\nUS weekly jobless claims data\, released every Thursday by the Department of Labor.\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhat time is the August ADP employment report released?\nIt is scheduled for 8:15 am ET\, which is 1:15 pm London time\, on September 2\, 2026. \nHow should I read the ADP employment number?\nFocus on the direction of the change in private payrolls and the trend over recent months\, rather than the single monthly figure\, since it can be volatile and does not always match the official government jobs report. \nHow does this report affect interest rate expectations?\nWeaker-than-expected job gains can increase market bets on Federal Reserve interest rate cuts\, while stronger figures can reduce them\, though the Fed weighs many other data points too. \nWhere can I find the official ADP release?\nThe report is published on ADP’s own newsroom and on the ADP Research website\, and is also carried immediately by major financial data providers. \nWhen is the next ADP employment report?\nADP typically releases its report on the first Wednesday of each month\, two business days before the official non-farm payrolls report\, so the next release is expected in early October 2026.
