According to today's ADP National Employment Report®, private
sector employment decreased by 298,000 in August. The ADP National
Employment Report, created by ADP® Employer Services, a division of
Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP), in partnership with
Macroeconomic Advisers, LLC, is derived from actual payroll data
and measures the change in total nonfarm private employment each
month.
Nonfarm Private Employment Highlights -- August Report:
-- Total employment: -298,000
-- Small businesses* -122,000
-- Medium businesses** -116,000
-- Large businesses*** -60,000
-- Goods-producing sector: -152,000
-- Service-providing sector: -146,000
Addendum:
-- Manufacturing industry: -74,000
* Small businesses represent payrolls with 1-49 employees
** Medium businesses represent payrolls with 50-499 employees
*** Large businesses represent payrolls with more than 499 employees
According to Joel Prakken, Chairman of Macroeconomic Advisers,
LLC, "Nonfarm private employment decreased 298,000 from July to
August 2009 on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to the ADP
National Employment Report. August's employment decline was the
smallest since September of 2008. Employment losses are clearly
diminishing. Despite recent indications that overall economic
activity is stabilizing, employment, which usually trails overall
economic activity, is still likely to decline for at least several
more months, albeit at a diminishing rate."
Prakken added, "August's ADP Report estimates nonfarm private
employment in the service-providing sector fell by 146,000.
Employment in the goods-producing sector declined 152,000, with
employment in the manufacturing sector dropping 74,000, its
smallest monthly decline since July of 2008."
"Large businesses, defined as those with 500 or more workers,
saw employment decline by 60,000, while medium-size businesses with
between 50 and 499 workers declined 116,000. Employment among
small-size businesses, defined as those with fewer than 50 workers,
declined 122,000," said Prakken.
Prakken went on to say, "In August, construction employment
dropped 73,000. This was its thirty-first consecutive monthly
decline, and brings the total decline in construction jobs since
the peak in January 2007 to 1,562,000. Employment in the financial
services sector dropped 19,000, the twenty-first consecutive
monthly decline."
The matched sample used to develop the ADP National Employment
Report was derived from ADP data, which during the twelve month
period through June 2009, averaged approximately 400,000 U.S.
business clients and represented over 23 million U.S. employees.
This approximately represents the size of the matched sample used
this month.
Small Business Highlights -- August Report:
Due to the important contribution small businesses make to
economic growth, employment data that is specific to businesses
with fewer than 50 employees will be reported in the ADP Small
Business Report® each month. The ADP Small Business Report is a
subset of the ADP National Employment Report.
-- Total small business employment: -122,000
-- Goods-producing sector: -63,000 small business jobs
-- Service-providing sector: -59,000 small business jobs
Private employment among small businesses decreased by 122,000
in August, according to the ADP Small Business Report released
today. Additional information about small business employment,
including charts on monthly job growth and employment levels, along
with historical data, is available at
http://www.smallbusinessreport.adp.com.
"Employment among small-size businesses, defined as those with
fewer than 50 workers, declined 122,000 in August. This month's
employment decline was the smallest since September of 2008.
Employment among small-size businesses is likely to decline for at
least several more months, albeit at a diminishing rate. Since
reaching peak employment in January 2008, small-size businesses
have shed 2.5 million jobs," said Joel Prakken.

About the ADP National Employment Report®
The ADP National Employment Report, sponsored by ADP®, was
developed and is maintained by Macroeconomic Advisers, LLC. It is a
measure of employment derived from an anonymous subset of roughly
500,000 U.S. business clients. During the twelve month period
through June 2009, this subset averaged approximately 400,000 U.S.
business clients and over 23 million U.S. employees working in all
private industrial sectors. The ADP Small Business Report® is a
monthly estimate of private nonfarm employment among companies in
the United States with 1-49 employees and is a subset of the ADP
National Employment Report. The data for both reports 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
properties of the series, please see "ADP National Employment
Report: Development Methodology" at http://ADPemployment
