13. That number is a total fabrication. Trump just made it up

ADP already published September numbers back in October while rethugs had the government shut down and they showed a 32000 job private sector reduction. So there is simply no way in hell trump’s numbers are real.

The ADP National Employment Report, a measure of private employment in the U.S., said on Wednesday that payrolls at private employers declined by 32,000 jobs last month, signaling the labor market continued to face headwinds in September.

More attention may be given to the ADP data this week because the government's monthly jobs report, scheduled for release on Friday, Oct. 3, could be delayed due to the government shutdown that began today, according to Oxford Economics.

On Wednesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which issues the federal monthly jobs report, noted in a statement that it has halted data releases "due to the suspension of Federal government services." It added, "The last update to the site was Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2025. Updates to the site will start again when the Federal government resumes operations."

The ADP report, which is based on payroll data from more than 26 million U.S. employees, comes as the U.S. economy expanded at a stronger-than-expected rate in the second quarter. At the same time, the government's monthly jobs reports this summer have shown disappointing job growth as some businesses are holding off on hiring amid economic challenges such as tariffs and artificial intelligence.
