USA: Private Sector Job Growth Eases Again.
US private employers added an average of 25,500 jobs per week in the four weeks ending May 30, 2026, per the ADP Research Institute, a slight dip from the previous period’s 29,000 weekly gain. This marks the fourth straight week of slowing job growth. Yet, ADP’s May report released earlier this month revealed private businesses added a net 122,000 jobs, the largest increase since January 2025.
