The private sector lost 33,000 jobs in June, badly missing expectations for a 100,000 increase, ADP says
- ADP reported that private sector payrolls fell by 33,000 jobs in June 2025, marking the first decline since March 2023.
- This unexpected contraction occurred despite economists forecasting a 110,000 job increase and an unemployment rate rising to 4.3% from 4.2%.
- Job losses concentrated in service sectors including professional/business services , health/education , and financial activities , while goods-producing roles rose by 32,000.
- Large businesses added 30,000 jobs and the Southern U.S. saw payroll growth, but smallest firms lost 29,000 roles and pay growth modestly softened to 4.4% for stayers and 6.8% for job changers.
- The weak ADP report raised concerns over economic health and increased market bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts, with traders now fully pricing in cuts by September.
