ADP says U.S. private employers added 98,000 jobs in June
The Facts
- ADP said U.S. private employers added 98,000 jobs in June.
- June private payroll growth was lower than May’s 122,000 gain in the ADP data.
- The ADP report was released ahead of the U.S. government’s June employment report, which was due the next day.
- Education and health services led June’s private-sector job gains, adding 48,000 jobs.
- Natural resources and mining lost jobs in June, with a decline of 5,000.
- Small businesses added 53,000 jobs in June, more than medium-sized or large businesses in the ADP breakdown.
- ADP Chief Economist Nela Richardson said the June data reflected both labor demand and labor supply constraints, with the overall effect being slower job creation.
- The report matters because it is being used as an early signal on labor-market conditions before the official jobs report, which could influence expectations for Federal Reserve interest-rate decisions.
