Private Employers Add 150,000 Jobs In June, Less Than Expected: Job Growth 'Solid, But Not Broad-Based'
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The ADP National Employment Report revealed that U.S. private employers added 150,000 jobs in June, falling short of expectations and marking the third consecutive month of reduced job growth. The report indicates a cooling labor market, with notable job gains in leisure and hospitality but contractions in natural resources, mining, and manufacturing. The U.S. Dollar Index remained steady, and U.S. equity futures were flat following the report.
