Nationally representative measure of weekly employment For example, for employees with monthly pay frequency, we have to wait until after the end of the month before we can produce the Paid Employment count for all weeks during the month. We have to wait until after the end of the pay period in order to count Paid Employment for the week(s) in the pay period. For Paid Employment, each week’s snapshot reports on payroll transactions at the company during that week.Įmployee pay periods and pay frequency might be weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly. For Payroll Employment, each week’s snapshot reports the number of employees on payroll at the company that week. We use weekly snapshots of ADP payroll data. Also, ADP payroll data at the person level (in addition to the establishment level) enables more detailed, richer analysis. The relationship between the two measures may vary across segments of the labor market (e.g., industry, geography, company size) or over time (e.g., recession, pandemic, natural disaster).īecause the underlying ADP payroll databases are continuously updated, we can create high-frequency, near real-time measures of U.S.
Payroll Employment shows how many people have an attachment to an employer in the labor market, while Paid Employment shows how many people are actively working and earning income in the labor market at any given time.
Both measures are of interest, and together provide a richer understanding of the labor market. With ADP data, we can measure how many employees are on company payrolls (Payroll Employment) as well as how many employees were paid in a given pay period (Paid Employment). We also use a person-level database of payroll transactions that enables us to construct a matched-persons sample to measure changes in wages or earnings over time. As an approximation, we consider a Payroll Account a business establishment (i.e., a company work location). An ADP client company may have one or more Payroll Account. We use a business-level database that provides aggregated counts of employment at the level of an ADP Payroll Account.
workforce.ĪDP payroll data include payroll transactions data – when a person is paid and how much – as well as administrative data on who is on the company payroll (even if they are not paid in the current pay period), and characteristics of the employer and employee. In addition, it presents regular measures of wages or earnings for defined samples or segments of the U.S. The ADP NER provides a high-frequency, weekly measure of U.S. labor market based on ADP payroll data covering more than half a million companies with more than 25 million employees. The ADP National Employment Report (NER) presents independent measures of the U.S.
