"The impact of the COVID-19 crisis continues to weigh on
businesses of all sizes," said Ahu Yildirmaz, co-head of the ADP
Research Institute. "While the labor market is still reeling from
the effects of the pandemic, job loss likely peaked in April, as
many states have begun a phased reopening of businesses."
The matched sample used to develop the ADP National
Employment Report was derived from ADP payroll data, which
represents 460,000 U.S. clients employing nearly 26 million workers
in the U.S. The April total of jobs lost was revised from
-20,236,000 to -19,557,000.

About the ADP National Employment
Report®
The ADP National Employment
Report® is a monthly measure of the change in total
U.S. nonfarm private employment derived from actual, anonymous
payroll data of client companies served by ADP®, a
leading provider of human capital management solutions. The
report, which measures nearly 26 million U.S. workers, is produced
by the ADP Research Institute®, a specialized group
within the company that provides insights around employment trends
and workforce strategy, in collaboration with Moody's Analytics,
Inc.
Each month, ADP Research Institute issues the ADP National
Employment Report as part of the company's commitment to adding
deeper insights into the U.S. labor market and providing
businesses, governments and others with a source of credible and
valuable information. The ADP National Employment
Report is broadly distributed to the public each month, free of
charge.
The data for this report is collected for pay periods that can
be interpolated to include the week of the 12th of each
month, and processed with statistical methodologies similar to
those used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to compute
employment from its monthly survey of establishments. Due to
this processing, this subset is modified to make it indicative of
national employment levels; therefore, the resulting employment
changes computed for the ADP National Employment Report are
not representative of changes in ADP's total base of U.S. business
clients.
For a description of the underlying data and the statistical
model used to create this report, please see the ADP National
Employment Report: Development Methodology.
