ADP Hints At Slightly Weak Aug Payrolls Figure

US

Notable ahead of Friday's nonfarm payrolls figure: ADP private payrolls under the new methodology released today have been below NFP payroll growth by an average of 97k over the past 12 months (below it in 8 of those 12 months).

  • ADPs came out at +132k for August; the current estimate for private payrolls change Friday is +300k.
  • So, the "historical" record in this new ADP series points to a slightly weak payrolls figure (public sector job gains notwithstanding), but it's still far too early to tell how well the new methodology will match up in real-time to overall nonfarms.
