This diverse group of industry sectors is generating jobs in many different occupations and across diverse skill levels. The ADP National Franchise Report will provide new insights into this dynamic and important aspect of our economy."

"The new ADP National Franchise Report will provide further evidence about the important impact that the franchise industry has on job creation," said Steve Caldeira, president & CEO, International Franchise Association. "Spanning across 10 major industry categories and 300 different business lines, including some of the world's most iconic brands, franchise businesses are critical economic engines in communities across the country.
