(The ADP reports only report on PRIVATE sector jobs, so for an apples-to-apples comparision, they should be compared to the BLS PRIVATE sector jobs numbers. The ADP NER Pulse in the OP is saying 10,250 X 4 = 41,000 private sector jobs created in a 4-week period ending January 31 -- less than 1/4 of the BLS private sector number. No wonder the media doesn't think it is important. )

The BLS report is the same report that revised down 2024 and 2025 by a combined nearly 1 million jobs. leaving only 181,000 net new jobs in all of 2025 (15k/month average)

ETA-
ADP processes payrolls for 20% of the private sector payroll employed, and estimates the other 80%. It's a non-governmental report, so the report's timing is not subject to the government shutdown/startup schedule.
