"Job growth appears to be shifting from small to large companies due to the lessening impact the global economic environment
had on large companies earlier in the year," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and head of the ADP Research
Institute. "This is also true because large companies often have the resources to attract workers with better pay and
benefit packages."
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, said, "Job growth remains strong although the pace of growth appears to be
slowing. Behind the slowdown is businesses' difficulty filling open positions. However, there is some weakness in construction,
education and mining."

About the ADP National Employment Report®
The ADP National Employment Report® is a monthly measure of the change in total U.S.
nonfarm private employment derived from actual, anonymous payroll data of client companies served by ADP®, a leading
provider of human capital management solutions. The report, which measures nearly 24 million U.S. workers, is produced by
the ADP Research Institute®, a specialized group within the company that provides insights around employment trends
and workforce strategy, in collaboration with Moody's Analytics, Inc.
Each month, ADP issues the ADP National Employment Report as part of the company's commitment to adding deeper
insights into the U.S. labor market and providing businesses, governments and others with a source of credible and valuable
information. The ADP National Employment Report is broadly distributed to the public each month, free of
charge.
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.
For a description of the underlying data and the statistical model used to create this report, please see the
ADP National Employment Report: Development Methodology.
