I live in London http://tiava.in.net tiava xxx Below is the cumulative difference between what the ADP reports as the private nonfarm payroll jobs vs. the BLS (ADP minus BLS) after revisions This line shows the divergence, over time in number of nonfarm private payroll jobs reported between the two reports. We can see around 2012 ADP has become really off from the BLS private payroll tally, which is why one needs to consider ADP a separate metric entirely. ADP claims their private payrolls cover 24 million jobs with 416 thousand businesses in the U.S. This represents about 20% of U.S. payrolls.
