Why the market watches it
Because it leads NFP, markets use it to gauge the jobs trend in advance. But ADP and NFP often diverge, so its standalone reliability is rated below NFP.
How traders read it
ADP can be strong while NFP comes in weak, so treat it as a reference only — the main event is still NFP.
