Restaurants Continue to Generate Majority of Monthly Franchise Employment Gains

ROSELAND, NJ--(Marketwired - Oct 16, 2013) - U.S. private-sector franchise jobs increased by 15,040 during the month of September 2013, according to the ADP National Franchise Report(SM). Broadly distributed to the public each month free of charge, the ADP National Franchise Report measures monthly changes in franchise employment derived from ADP's actual transactional payroll data. The report is produced by ADP®, a leading global provider of Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, in collaboration with Moody's Analytics, Inc. and is published by the ADP Research Institute®.

"As has been the case throughout the past year, job gains among restaurants were the primary driver of monthly franchise industry employment growth during the month of September," said Ahu Yildirmaz, senior director of the ADP Research Institute. "Moreover, on a year over year basis, franchise employment growth continues to outpace the broader private sector job market by a measure of 2.5 percent versus 1.9 percent. Franchise industry sectors showing an annual growth rate greater than 2.5 percent include restaurants, leisure, food retailers, business services and personal care services."
