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.

CNBC Daily Open: Rely on the official U.S. jobs report, but consider what ADP is saying
There's a scene in the cinematic masterpiece Mean Girls in which a character writes in big bloody script: "DO NOT TRUST HER." Apologies in advance to the good folks at ADP, who I'm sure are doing good work processing private payrolls. But we might want to keep in mind the above warning when assessing the monthly ADP jobs report. Official labor numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed a higher-than-expected increase of147,000 jobs in June. The ADP report, released Wednesday, pointed to a decrease of 33,000 private sector jobs. That's not just a difference in magnitude, but also of direction. Emphasizing this point, the unemployment rate in June fell to 4.1% from 4.2% in the month before, defying a forecast for an increase to 4.3%. The details lurking below the official jobs report, however, suggest I could be a tad unfair to the ADP report. Jobs in the government rose by 73,000 in June, making up around half of the total nonfarm payroll growth for the month, as noted by CNBC's Alex Harring. The ADP report only measures private payrolls — which exclude government jobs. "The headline job gains and surprising dip in unemployment are undoubtedly good news, but for job seekers outside of healthcare & social assistance, local government, and public education, the gains will likely ring hollow," wrote Cory Stahle, economist at Indeed Hiring Lab. The huge divergence between the ADP and BLS reports, then, might not be that much of a statistical aberration — and could point to a growing schism in the U.S. labor market. The U.S. economy added more jobs in June than expected. Nonfarm payrolls increased a seasonally adjusted 147,000 for the month, higher than the estimate for 110,000. The unemployment rate also ticked down to 4.1% from 4.2% in May. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite notch new records. Both indexes rose Thursday to extend their streak of new closing highs. Yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury jumped. The Stoxx Europe 600 added 0.47%, pushing itself out of a loss. Apple's iPhone sales in China grow. The figure jumped 8% year on year in the second quarter of 2025. That's the first time in two years Apple has recorded an increase in sales in China, according to Counterpoint Research. Trump's massive bill passed by U.S. government. On Thursday, the House of Representatives voted in favor of the tax-and-spending bill, with a finally vote tally of 218-214. The passage of the bill is a major political victory for U.S. President Donald Trump. [PRO] A relief to European renewable energy firms. Amendments in Trump's bill gave renewable stocks a boost and could mean the "worst-case scenario" for the sector might not come to pass, an analyst said. What the U.S.-Vietnam trade deal tells us about the future of tariffs Under the agreement between Vietnam and the U.S., Washington will apply a 20% duty on Vietnamese imports — sharply below the 46% rate Trump had imposed in early April. U.S. imports to Vietnam will not be subject to tariffs. "What we learned from the Vietnam deal is, if anything, the tariffs are going to go up from here, not down," Sebastian Raedler, head of European equity strategy at BofA, told CNBC's "Europe Early Edition" on Thursday.

Investors Heavily Search Bit Digital, Inc. (BTBT): Here is What You Need to Know
Bit Digital, Inc. (BTBT) is one of the stocks most watched by visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock. Shares of this company have returned -1.5% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +5% change. The Zacks Technology Services industry, to which Bit Digital belongs, has gained 0.8% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term? While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making. Rather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings. Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements. For the current quarter, Bit Digital is expected to post a loss of $0.02 per share, indicating a change of -100% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -300% over the last 30 days. For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of -$0.32 points to a change of -14.3% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has changed -90%. For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $0.04 indicates a change of +110.7% from what Bit Digital is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed -38.9%. Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Bit Digital is rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate: Even though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial. In the case of Bit Digital, the consensus sales estimate of $26.83 million for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of -7.3%. The $123.6 million and $164 million estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +14.4% and +32.7%, respectively. Bit Digital reported revenues of $25.1 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -17.1%. EPS of -$0.05 for the same period compares with $0.03 a year ago. Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $26.21 million, the reported revenues represent a surprise of -4.22%. The EPS surprise was 0%. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed EPS estimates just once. The company topped consensus revenue estimates two times over this period. Without considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects. Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is. The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an A is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued. Bit Digital is graded D on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade. The facts discussed here and much other information on might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Bit Digital. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?
