Back to datasetsKey Variables Wages; hiring; separations; hours worked; workforce flows; pay growth; job tenure AI/Tech Tracking Does not directly track AI adoption; used to measure labor market outcomes that may be linked to AI exposure Access Details Aggregate reports publicly available; micro-level data through ADP research partnerships Notes High-frequency payroll data offers near real-time labor market signals; sample covers roughly 20% of US private-sector employment; increasingly used in academic research on technology and labor markets; the National Employment Report is a key monthly indicator. ADP offers research partnerships for academic access to micro-level data. Similar payroll data from providers like Gusto (focused on small businesses with 1-49 employees) and Rippling would valuably complement ADP's coverage, particularly for understanding AI adoption effects across firm sizes
