Nonfarm payroll reflects the short-term job market growth, while unemployment rate represents the long-term trend.
An increase of 150 to 200 thousand in nonfarm payroll indicates the economy is strong. When the economy is weak, nonfarm payroll turns negative before unemployment rate rises.

Yearly change in non-farm payroll leads ahead of GDP by one to two quarters, so it's a good indicator for the health of the economy.
In the past 30 years, whenever non-farm payroll yearly gain is less than 2 millions and followed by an even smaller gain, the market would be cautious of a sluggish economic growth or even a recession.

The US Department of Labor releases the median of the annual growth of each level of wages. There are four levels: the top 25%, 26-50%, 51-75%, and 76%-100% (the bottom 25%).
Demand for workers declines during recession, causing wage growth to slow, and the bottom 25% are the most directly affected. The bottom 25% also sees the biggest rebound as the economy recovers.

The US Department of Labor releases the median of the annual growth of wages for different work type. There are three categories of work:
High skilled includes managers, professionals, and technicians. Middle skilled includes office and administration, operators, production workers, and sales. Low skilled includes workers in food preparation and serving, cleaning, individual care services, and protective services.
Wage growth of the low skilled usually lags behind when the economy recovers; however, when the economy declines, all work types see wage decline.

Workers take on part-time jobs for two reasons. One is the economy, and the other is something personal. When companies are reducing full-time positions and increasing part-time hires, workers are more likely to find a part-time job. Such economic reasons normally cause part-time hires to fluctuate more than personal reasons do, so the market usually pays more attention to this.
Based on experiences, employers hire more part-time workers when the economy is uncertain or unstable. Demand for part-timers decreases when the economy is growing.
Part-time hires are on a downward trend and indicate that the labor market is quite stable.

ADP non-farm employment is a non-official employment survey.
The distinctions between the official non-farm payroll report and ADP non-farm employment are:
A. Sample-population Coverage:
Nonfarm: 30%
ADP: 20%
Both indicators have high coverage and thus high credibility.
B. Sampling Method:
According to US regulations the workers receive a paycheck every 2 weeks, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics therefore consider those who are paid on the week of the 12th of each month-- usually the 2nd week of the month-- as nonfarm payroll, while ADP survey on workers employed by its clients.
While Nonfarm payroll gain is usually affected by bad weather, ADP's data appears to be more stable when snowstorm or hurricane hits during the second week of the month, as Nonfarm does not include service and construction workers who do not work due to bad weather.

Participation rate = Labor force / Population aged between 15 to 64
Labor force is the sum of people who are aged over 16 and employed or actively looking for a job. Participation rate is a measure of how many people are participating in economic activities.

Hourly real nonfarm commerce output measures productivity by hour; unit labor costs measure the unit costs of productivity. The two data usually have a negative correlation. Labor costs rose while productivity declined in the 1970s due to stagflation. Corporate profits were reduced by increasing labor costs.
