Key takeaways:

ADP and BLS often differ because:

- ADP measures only private‑sector payrolls, while BLS includes government jobs.
- Methodologies differ (ADP uses payroll processing data; BLS uses surveys).
- Strikes and government employment swings affect BLS but not ADP.

This month, the divergence is amplified by:

- Health‑care strikes (hurting BLS numbers)
- Government job declines (also BLS‑only)
- Solid private‑sector hiring (captured by ADP)

🧭 Bottom Line

- BLS: –92,000 jobs → signals weakness, driven by strikes and government job losses.
- ADP: +63,000 jobs → signals moderate private‑sector resilience.

Health and education, eh? More “learing centers” and appointment shuttle services? 😏
