"Hiring was more broad-based in May than we've seen in the last few years," said Dr. Nela Richardson, Chief Economist, ADP.

"The labor market continues to show sustained momentum going into the summer hiring season."

Year-over-year pay growth for job-stayers was steady at 4.4 percent. For job-changers, the pace of growth slowed slightly, to 6.5 percent from 6.6 percent in April.
