Private payrolls rose by 2.369 million in June, a bit below the 2.5 million estimate from economists surveyed by Dow Jones, according to ADP.
May’s number saw a stunning revision, going from an initially reported loss of 2.76 million to a gain of 3.065 million.
Hospitality industry workers saw the biggest gain, with 961,000 hires, while small businesses overall added 937,000.
Companies in June continued to bring workers back from their pandemic furlough as the national economy slowly came back to life.
Private payrolls grew by 2.369 million for the month, a bit lower than the 2.5 million expectation from economists surveyed by Dow Jones, according to a report Wednesday from ADP and Moody’s Analytics.
The total actually represented a decline from the previous month, which saw a dramatic upward revision to 3.065 million. ADP initially said May saw a loss of 2.76 million. However, the Labor Department two days later reported a gain of 2.5 million for May, a number that itself was far better than the Wall Street estimate of an 8 million loss.
