The numbers: Paycheck company ADP said U.S. businesses added a modest 150,000 new jobs in June, marking the smallest increase in five months, possibly another sign the labor market is cooling. Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had forecast a gain of 160,000.
“Job growth has been solid, but not broad-based,” said Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. “Had it not been for a rebound in hiring in leisure and hospitality, June would have been a downbeat month.”
ADP is not a good historical predictor of the government’s official jobs estimate, which follows a few days later, but the two reports do move in the same direction over time.
The government is expected to report on Friday that 200,000 new jobs were created in June, according to a Wall Street Journal poll.

A short seller that caused Adani's rout says it didn’t make that much. When Hindenburg Research published its report accusing the business empire of Indian billionaire Gautam Adani of “brazen stock manipulation” last year, it shaved over $100 billion from the value of the companies—but its bet against them netted the short seller just $4.1 million. Hindenburg published the figure on its website this week, along with a letter from Indian securities regulators accusing the firm of intentionally misleading the public in the report. Hindenburg criticized the regulator right back, saying it failed to investigate the fraud allegations against Adani.
