Private-sector payrolls lose 33,000 jobs, surprising analysts
The latest report comes as a surprise to economists who had anticipated a gain of about 100,000 jobs last month.
Service-providing industries led the losses with a net decline of 66,000 jobs in June, including a loss of 56,000 professional and business services jobs and 52,000 in the education and health services industries.
Companies in the service industries, meanwhile, saw gains of 32,000 jobs in leisure and hospitality and of 14,000 added in trade, transportation and utilities.
Goods-producing firms, meanwhile, saw a net gain of 32,000 jobs, including in natural resources and mining, construction and manufacturing.
Broken down by region, the South saw 13,000 jobs added, while the Midwest lost 24,000 jobs, the West lost 20,000 jobs, and the Northeast lost 3,000 jobs.
Small establishments — with fewer than 50 employees — lost 47,000 jobs. Meanwhile, large establishments — with 500 or more employees — saw gains of 30,000 jobs.
Medium-size establishments were split: Businesses with 50 to 249 employees gained 12,000 jobs last month, while businesses with 250 to 499 employees lost 27,000 positions.
The latest ADP report shows annual pay up 4.4 percent year over year in June for people who stayed in their jobs — little changed from the 4.5 percent in May. For those who switched jobs, however, annual pay in June increased 6.8 percent year over year, a slight drop from the 7 percent in May.
'Though layoffs continue to be rare, a hesitancy to hire and a reluctance to replace departing workers led to job losses last month,' ADP chief economist Nela Richardson said in a statement. 'Still, the slowdown in hiring has yet to disrupt pay growth.'
The latest report also revised downward the total number of jobs added in May from 37,000 to 29,000.

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (NASDAQ:EVTV) ('Envirotech,' 'EVT', or the 'Company') is pleased to announce the completed delivery of another EVT Bumble Bee electric school bus to Texas independent school districts. The bus was delivered this week to the Kopperl Independent School District ('Kopperl ISD') in Kopperl, Texas. Under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean School Bus ('CSB') Program-which was established to provide $5 billion over five years to replace existing fleets with zero-emission buses- $8,570,000 was awarded to cover the production and distribution of 25 electric school buses by Envirotech to school districts in Texas and Arkansas. 'We have now completed four bus deliveries in the past 15 days and expect to see growth in this segment continue to ramp up,' remarked Jason Maddox, President and Interim Chief Financial Officer of Envirotech. 'We express great thanks to the EPA for the Clean School Bus Program and look forward to additional school bus deliveries this year as well as the opportunity to potentially access additional grant funding to further expand this vertical in 2026.' The EVT Bumble Bee fast-charging 100% electric school bus has a proven range of up to 150 miles on a single charge with zero emissions and no noise pollution. It represents a significant improvement over conventional fossil fuel powered buses: Zero tailpipe emissions-students, drivers, and members of the community will be exposed to significantly less harmful diesel emissions like particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel school buses. Reduced maintenance costs due to regenerative braking and no engine or exhaust system. Potential for reduced fuel costs compared to diesel depending on electricity costs. Quiet, clean operation. Kopperl ISD Superintendent Katrina Adcock was present when Envirotech delivered the Bumble Bee electric school bus to the district. 'The bus was delivered this morning. It is super cool!

Nonfarm Payrolls Exceed Estimates in June
This morning, the final print of this latest Jobs Week has hit the tape: the Employment Situation report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for the month of June. Market participants can breathe a sigh of relief, as the headline number has come in at +147K — above the consensus estimate of +110K and the upwardly revised +144K for May. The Unemployment Rate fell to 4.1%, where we were back in February — an historically healthy number for the labor after the -33K jobs lost reported in yesterday's ADP ADP private-sector payrolls, today's stronger numbers put a cork in the narrative that the domestic labor market is unwinding. Especially at a 4.1% Unemployment Rate, it's hard to argue there are any issues whatsoever in our current jobs data. Pre-markets moved higher on the fact, revisions to the previous two months have moved upward: May's original print was +139K and April moved from the initial +147K to +158K in today's revision, for total extra jobs gains over the past two months of +16K. The trailing 4-month average in jobs gains is +143K, more than enough to cover monthly retiree levels, even as it's off the +199K in the previous 4 on Wednesday's ADP report we noticed a loss of -56K in Professional/Business Services in the private sector last month. We don't see, in this morning's BLS, a full breakdown by industry, and we see no gauge of Pro/Biz Services at all. The top industry for nonfarm payrolls in June was +73K, in Government hires (on the State & Local side; Federal Government jobs shed -7K).In other words, only half the jobs gains from last month came from the private sector. Healthcare filled +39K positions last month, with Social Assistance +19K. Absent from this morning's report are the usual sectors for monthly jobs gains, aside from Pro/Biz: Leisure & Hospitality and Trade/Transportation/Utilities. We might speculate these figures were moderately positive across the also might speculate that this morning's report decreases the probability that the Fed will be reducing interest rates at its next FOMC meeting mid-July. This pushes the first potential cut out to September, as the Fed takes August off. Bond yields, in immediate reaction to today's jobs report, jumped 13 basis points (bps) on both the 10-year and 2-year t-bill. Initial Jobless Claims for last week dropped week over week, to 233K from an upwardly revised 237K the prior month. This is also down from expectations for 240K new claims a week ago, which again had been feared to jump higher on the 'weak labor market' narrative that appears to have gotten ahead of itself. Continuing Claims is where the real worry has been over the past couple of weeks, but in today's print it also moderates: 1.964 million is roughly in-line with the downwardly revised 1.96 million the previous week. We haven't (yet) struck 2 million weekly longer-term jobless claims, but then again, it's only been 6 weeks since we notched above 1.9 million and stayed there. (Two million weekly continuing jobless claims would basically change the narrative of a robust labor market.) For more good news — if we can stand it — the U.S. Trade Deficit for May was in-line with expectations at -$71.5 billion. Obviously, it's hard to call a number like that 'good news,' but it's a vast improvement from the March read of -$138 billion, an all-time record low. The April revision was also improved, from -$61.6 billion reported last month to -$60.3 billion. Tariff issues have yet to shake out; we'll get a better look at our trade situation over the next few months. We have a shortened session today, ahead of tomorrow's Independence Day holiday: the closing bell rings at 1 pm ET. But between now and then, we'll see new Factory Orders for May and the final print on Services PMI from S&P and ISM. Analysts expect Factory Orders to jump back up following a negative April, while Services PMI is anticipated to be mixed, with both metrics above the 50-level determining growth from loss.
