About the ADP Small Business Report®
The ADP Small Business Report® is a monthly estimate of private nonfarm
employment among companies in the U.S. with 1-49 employees and is a subset of the ADP National Employment
Report®. The data for this report 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.
