I've been looking at the ADP Pulse most weeks (Tuesdays) for months. Except on the week that they do their monthly report.
Here is the latest, released April 21 (my summary of it for the most part)
# ADP Pulse:
For the four weeks ending April 4, 2026, U.S. PRIVATE employers added an average of 54,750 jobs a week. It was the fifth straight week of improvement in hiring. These numbers are preliminary and could change as new data is added
Multiplying by 52.14/12 to "monthesize it" to the average month:
237,889
(There are 52.14 weeks in a 365-day year, and 12 months).
The ultimate source:

It has a graph (scroll down half a page) showing it was about 15,000/week in mid-February --

About The NER Pulse
Three times a month, Main Street Macro releases the NER Pulse, an estimate of the week-over-week change in employment based on a four-week moving average. These releases are seasonally adjusted and have a two-week lag to allow for more complete and accurate estimates of real-time employment trends. At the beginning of each month, we publish the National Employment Report, which is built on a reference week that includes the 12th day of the month. We do not publish the NER Pulse during NER release weeks.

(ADP is a private payroll processor that process about 20% of the U.S. private payroll, and they estimate the other 80%)
