US private-sector employment increases in June, according to ADP Research. ADP reports that private payrolls add 98,000 jobs during the month, following a gain of 122,000 in May. The June figure is described as solid and contributes to the best three-month stretch for hiring in more than a year, based on how ADP characterizes recent trends. Bloomberg notes that the reading comes out on Wednesday and cites a Bloomberg survey of economists in which the median estimate called for an increase of 120,000 jobs. Financial Post similarly reports that job growth remains strong in June, framing the three-month period as the strongest for hiring in over a year. Across the two outlets, the core details align: the ADP-reported June job creation is 98,000, it follows a 122,000 increase in the prior month, and it is weaker than the median forecast cited by Bloomberg. Both sources treat the result as part of a broader improvement in hiring over recent months.
