The American private sector added an average of 11,500 jobs per week over the four weeks ending December 6, 2025, while the previous reading was around 17,500 jobs, according to data released by ADP, a human resources company, on Tuesday.
This figure is a weekly update to the national employment report released by ADP, based on a four-week moving average of employment changes. The company publishes these preliminary estimates three times a month, relying on seasonally adjusted data, noting that the data used reflects the employment situation about two weeks prior, meaning there is a two-week reporting lag to ensure the accuracy of the information before publication.
The report's data is based on employment information tracked by the company and is produced in collaboration with the Digital Economy Lab at Stanford University. The company indicates that preliminary numbers may change as additional data becomes available later.
