ROSELAND, NJ -- (Marketwired) -- 06/10/15 -- Private sector employment increased in all four major regions and all nine U.S. Census Bureau Divisions during the month of May 2015, according to the monthly ADP Regional Employment Report®, which is produced by ADP®, a leading global provider of Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, in collaboration with Moody's Analytics, Inc. Broadly distributed to the public each month, free of charge, the ADP Regional Employment Report measures monthly changes in regional nonfarm private employment on a seasonally adjusted basis.
"Job growth in the South continues to slow due to lower oil prices as evidenced by the fact that for the past two months Texas has had its fewest job gains since February 2010," said Ahu Yildirmaz, VP and head of the ADP Research Institute®. "The growth rates in both the Midwest and the Northeast surpassed that of the South in May. The last time both these regions grew faster than the South was July 2011."
On June 3, 2015, the ADP National Employment Report® reported that total U.S. private sector employment increased by a total of 201,000 jobs from April to May.

** Employment by state is determined by the location where employees work. In most cases, this approach aligns with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' measure of establishment employment, reflecting the state where an employee works. In some cases, a payroll located in a certain state may include employees from one or more states outside that state.

The ADP Small Business Report® is a monthly estimate of private nonfarm employment among companies in the U.S. with 1-49 employees and is a subset of the ADP National Employment Report. The data for all three reports is collected for pay periods that can be interpolated to include the week of the 12th of each month, and processed with statistical methodologies similar to those used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to compute employment from its monthly survey of establishments. Due to this processing, this subset is modified to make it indicative of national employment levels; therefore, the resulting employment changes computed for the ADP National Employment Report are not representative of changes in ADP's total base of U.S. business clients.
