July 14, 2026 8:16 AM

U.S. private employers added an average of 19,750 jobs per week in the four weeks ending June 27, 2026, according to a preliminary estimate from the ADP National Employment Report (NER) Pulse, published July 14, 2026.

The figure marks a third consecutive week of slowing hiring. The four-week moving average, which is seasonally adjusted, has declined steadily from 30,750 jobs for the week ending June 6 to the current reading. ADP noted the estimates are preliminary and subject to revision as additional data becomes available.

The weekly figures, based on a four-week moving average with a two-week lag, are as follows:

June 27: 19,750 | June 20: 21,000 | June 13: 24,250 | June 6: 30,750 | May 30: 26,500 | May 23: 29,000 | May 16: 30,500 | May 9: 35,750 | May 2: 40,750 | April 25: 33,000 | April 18: 30,250 | April 11: 39,250

The NER Pulse is produced by ADP Research in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab. It publishes each Tuesday at 8:15 a.m. ET, except in weeks when ADP Research releases the monthly National Employment Report. The next NER Pulse is scheduled for July 21, 2026.
