According to today's ADP National Employment Report�, private
sector employment decreased by 693,000 in December. 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.
Beginning this month, the ADP Report will incorporate
methodological improvements intended to improve the correspondence
between the nonfarm private employment estimates shown in the ADP
Report and estimates published in the Bureau of Labor Statistics'
Employment Situation Report.
Nonfarm Private Employment Highlights - December Report:
-- Total employment: -693,000
-- Small businesses* -281,000
-- Medium businesses** -321,000
-- Large businesses*** -91,000
-- Goods-producing sector: -220,000
-- Service-providing sector: -473,000
Addendum:
-- Manufacturing industry: -120,000
* 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 693,000 from November to
December 2008 on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to the ADP
National Employment Report. This month's ADP Report incorporates
methodological improvements intended to improve the correspondence
between the nonfarm private employment estimates shown in the ADP
Report and estimates published in the Bureau of Labor Statistics'
Employment Situation Report."
Prakken added, "December's ADP Report estimates nonfarm private
employment in the service-providing sector fell by 473,000.
Employment in the goods-producing sector declined 220,000, the
twenty-third consecutive monthly decline. Employment in the
manufacturing sector declined 120,000, marking its twenty seventh
decline over the last twenty eight months."
"Large businesses, defined as those with 500 or more workers,
saw employment decline 91,000, while medium-size businesses with
between 50 and 499 workers declined 321,000. Employment among
small-size businesses, defined as those with fewer than 50 workers,
declined 281,000. Sharply falling employment at medium- and
small-size businesses clearly indicates that the recession has now
spread well beyond manufacturing and housing-related activities,"
said Prakken.
Prakken went on to say, "In December, construction employment
dropped 102,000. This was its twenty-first consecutive monthly
decline, and brings the total decline in construction jobs since
the peak in January 2007 to 809,000."

| Revisions to the ADP National Employment Report� |
| |
| The December 2008 ADP National Employment Report, released on |
|Wednesday, January 7, 2009, is the first regularly released ADP Report|
| to incorporate key methodological revisions. These revisions include |
| improved modeling techniques and additional data sources to better |
| accommodate inherent differences between the ADP and BLS data. |
| Additional details on the revisions are available at |
| at www.ADPemploymentreport.com. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The matched sample used to develop the ADP National Employment
Report was derived from ADP data which, during the last six months
of 2008, averaged approximately 400,000 payrolls representing
nearly 24 million U.S. employees. This approximately represents the
size of the matched sample used this month.
Small Business Highlights - December 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: -281,000
-- Goods-producing sector: -80,000 small business jobs
-- Service-providing sector: -201,000 small business jobs
Private employment among small businesses decreased by 281,000
in December, 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 281,000. Though the severity of job
losses in recent months among small-size businesses has been less
than that at larger-size ones, today's employment declines clearly
indicate that the recession has widened to include businesses of
all sizes," said Joel Prakken.

Employment Report, including additional charts, supporting data and

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 last six months of 2008,
this subset represented approximately 400,000 U.S. business clients
and nearly 24 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
