ADP's Pay Insights captures over 15 million individual pay change observations each month. Together, the jobs report and pay insights use ADP's fine-grained data to provide a representative and high-frequency picture of the private-sector labor market.\"We've seen an increase in hiring and pay gains remain solid, especially for job-stayers,\" said Dr. Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. \"But with hiring concentrated in only a few sectors, our data shows no widespread pay benefit from changing jobs. In fact, the pay premium for switching employers hit a record low in February.\"February 2026 Report HighlightsView the ADP National Employment Report and interactive charts at www.adpemploymentreport.com.JOBS REPORTPrivate employers added 63,000 jobs in FebruaryHiring jumped in February, delivering the best showing for job gains since July 2025.
