ADP's June job count showed an increase of 150,000 jobs, which is slightly lower than the upwardly revised 157,000 jobs added in May. This indicates a potential slowdown in the U.S. labor market.
In June, companies in the South added 80,000 jobs, which accounted for more than half of the total job gains reported by ADP. This indicates that the South region is leading in job growth among the four geographic regions in the U.S.
Private companies added 150,000 jobs in June, according to ADP's National Employment Report. This fell below the upwardly revised 157,000 jobs added in May and the Dow Jones consensus estimate of 160,000. The leisure and hospitality sector contributed the most to this total, adding 63,000 jobs.
