In Q2 2026 (May), US ADP private sector employment added 122,000 jobs, exceeding market expectations and rebounding significantly from the previous figure of 109,000. This employment growth had a broad base, primarily driven by education and health services as well as small businesses, while wage growth pressures eased slightly. The resilient job market provides support for summer economic momentum but may also cause the Federal Reserve to remain cautious in assessing the timeline for rate cuts.
