ADP and Jolts Reports Show Labor Market Solidifying and Setting Stage for Big 2026

Alfredo Ortiz, CEO of Job Creators Network, released the following statement in response to Wednesday’s ADP Payroll report and the BLS Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey:

“Rebounding payrolls, including at small businesses, and little change in job openings suggest the labor market is solidifying and setting the stage for a big 2026. A meaningful increase in the number of quits suggests employees are confident in finding another job in the Trump economy. The labor market is generally a lagging indicator of economic conditions. Pro-growth Republican policies such as tax cuts, deregulation, and low gas prices have supercharged economic growth in recent months, giving small businesses more ability to expand and hire. As these economic benefits begin being felt by Main Street, the labor market will significantly strengthen in the months to come, boosting affordability and living standards for all Americans.”
