ADP processes payrolls for about 20% of the private work force. They estimate the other 80% by some means described in the URL below. Anyway, they are meant to be an estimate of the national private sector workforce.

Click on Technical Notes to expand it:

Nationally representative measure of weekly employment

Seasonally adjusted measure of employment

While I'm at it - I saw a comment in another thread about being positive only because of seasonal hiring ... ADP reports seasonally adjusted numbers (as does the BLS).
