US private payroll growth slowed to 8,250 in ADP's weekly employment report for the week ending July 25, down from the previous 15,000 reading. ADP said private-sector employers added an average of 8,250 jobs per week over the four weeks ending July 25, 2026. The series is a high-frequency gauge of private-sector hiring trends, and a weaker pace can signal softer labor-market conditions and broader economic momentum.
