This is a breaking news story about the June 2026 ADP National Employment Report. Please check back for updates.

Companies in the private sector added 98,000 jobs in June, payroll processing firm ADP said in its latest report on Wednesday.

The figure is below economists’ estimates of a gain of 118,000 jobs and down from the prior month’s unrevised 122,000 payrolls figure.

“The pace of hiring is telling a story of both supply and demand,” said ADP chief economist Nela Richardson. “We know it’s taking people longer to find work, but there also are signs of labor supply constraints in certain industries. For now, the overall effect is a slowdown in job creation.”
