U.S. private sector adds 281,000 jobs in June: ADP


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. companies hired 281,000 workers in June, marking the biggest monthly increase since November 2012 and well above market expectations, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday.

    Private job gains in May were 179,000.

    Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast that the ADP National Employment Report would show a gain of 200,000 jobs last month.

    The report is jointly developed with Moody's Analytics.
