ADP Blames the Weather for a Slowdown in Jobs Growth in January

Please consider the ADP National Employment Report for January 2023.

Private sector employment increased by 106,000 jobs in January and annual pay was up 7.3 percent year-over-year, according to the January ADP® National Employment ReportTM produced by the ADP Research Institute® in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab (“Stanford Lab”).

The jobs report and pay insights use ADP’s fine-grained anonymized and aggregated payroll data of over 25 million U.S. employees to provide a representative picture of the labor market. The report details the current month’s total private employment change, and weekly job data from the previous month. ADP’s pay measure uniquely captures the earnings of a cohort of almost 10 million employees over a 12-month period.

In January, we saw the impact of weather-related disruptions on employment during our reference week,” said Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. “Hiring was stronger during other weeks of the month, in line with the strength we saw late last year.”  

Pay Growth

Pay growth for job stayers held at 7.3 percent for the second month, with most industries little changed.

One outlier was the information sector, where pay growth decelerated from 7 percent to 6.6 percent. For job changers, pay growth accelerated to 15.4 percent.

On Friday, we hear from the BLS.

Jobs are the only strength left in the economy. Industrial production, manufacturing, retail spending, even hours worked are all trending lower.

As a small business owner, we’re seeing somewhat of a slowdown in the volume of customer calls we’re getting. Granted we are in winter, but in comparing our call volume from the same time last year, I’d say volume is down 20%. Sales velocity has slowed in our masonry business YOY, but I can’t speak for businesses in different verticals. https://www.masonrycolumbus.com/

The people at ADP need to find another job. The econ CREATED +5170000 JOBS IN JAN 2023; MORE JOBS IN ONE MONTH THAN TRUMP DID IN 48 MONTHS; BIDEN/HARRIS HAS CREATED 11.70 million NET NEW JOBS IN 24 MONTHS OF MANDATE. HE HAS DONE MORE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAN TRUMP EVER DID ; WHERE IS YOUR RECESSION DOOMSAYERS!!

The calendar flips to a new year and here come the “blame the weather’” excuses for a drop in this or that. What are the odds that there would be a mid-latitude cyclone affecting a portion of the U.S. during the month of January?!?
On the whole it generally snowed where skiers want it to, was seasonably mild over much of the U.S., and the significant ice storm in the Southern Plains had the decency to wait until this week to happen.

The highway seems less congested during my commute since the start of the year.
