"Job losses of this scale are unprecedented. The total
number of job losses for the month of April alone was more than
double the total jobs lost during the Great Recession," said Ahu
Yildirmaz, co-head of the ADP Research Institute.
"Additionally, it is important to note that the report is
based on the total number of payroll records for employees who were
active on a company's payroll through the 12th of the
month. This is the same time period the Bureau of Labor and
Statistics uses for their survey."
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 March total of jobs added was revised down
from -27,000 to -149,000.

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.
