ADP Employment Change 4-Week Average last printed 25K on Tue, Oct 13, 2026 against a 24K prior. The next release is Tuesday, October 20, 2026 at 8:15 AM ET. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.
ADP started publishing this weekly cut of private payrolls when official jobs data went dark in the 2025 shutdown, and it never went away. Every Tuesday brings a 4-week average of employment change, which gives the market a labor reading during the long gaps between monthly jobs reports. The swings are single-digit thousands and the series is young. A run of negative averages still gets noticed fast.
A string of weak weekly averages leans bullish Treasuries because it sours the payrolls whisper, the unofficial number traders expect. One reading on its own rarely trades. It matters most when jobless claims are already saying the same thing. See it scored live on the Helious desk, or read how the standard-deviation surprise is computed.
