US Q2 (April) 2026 ADP employment added 109,000 jobs, significantly rebounding from the previous Q1 (March) figure of 62,000 and beating market consensus. Job growth was primarily driven by the service sector, such as healthcare, and small businesses with fewer than 50 employees. Against the backdrop of a slight decline in wage growth, this strong data not only alleviates recession fears but also provides confidence for the Federal Reserve to maintain its current policies.
