"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."

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 12 th 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.
