flag U.S. private jobs rose 42,000 in October 2025, first gain in three months, ADP report shows.

flag Private-sector employment in the U.S. rose by 42,000 jobs in October 2025, the first gain in three months, according to the ADP report, driven by large companies in education, healthcare, trade, transportation, and utilities. flag Job growth was concentrated in services, while professional services, information, and leisure and hospitality saw losses. flag Pay growth remained flat at 4.5% for job-stayers and 6.7% for job-changers. flag The data serves as a temporary substitute for the missing official Bureau of Labor Statistics report due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, which has halted regular employment data releases. flag Economists caution that ADP’s report, while useful, does not reflect the full labor market, as it excludes government jobs, underrepresents small and very large firms, and lacks household survey data on unemployment and labor force participation.
