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.Ā Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had forecast a gain of 160,000.
āJob growth has been solid, but not broad-based,ā said Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. āHad it not been for a rebound in hiring in leisure and hospitality, June would have been a downbeat month.ā
ADP is not a good historical predictor of the governmentās 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.
