Employment at companies with 50-499 employees increased by 52,000 jobs, down from last month's 60,000.

Companies with 500-999 employees added 21,000 and companies with more than 1,000 employees added 4,000 this month.

Goods-producing employment was down by 36,000 jobs in June after an additional loss of 5,000 jobs in May. The construction industry lost 5,000 jobs, offsetting May's gain of 9,000 jobs. Meanwhile, manufacturing lost 21,000 jobs after losing 3,000 the previous month.

Service-providing employment rose by 208,000 jobs in June, a stronger increase when compared to May's 173,000 jobs. The ADP National Employment Report indicates that professional/business services contributed 51,000 jobs, up from May's 47,000. Trade/transportation/utilities grew by 55,000, nearly twice that of the 27,000 jobs added the previous month. Financial activities added 2,000, down from last month's gain of 13,000 jobs.

"Since the start of 2016, average monthly job creation has slightly dropped," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and head of the ADP Research Institute. "Lackluster global growth, low commodity prices, and an unfavorable exchange rate continue to weigh on U.S. companies, especially larger companies."

Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, said, "Job growth revived last month from its spring slump. Job growth remains healthy except in the energy and trade-sensitive manufacturing sectors. Large multinationals are struggling a bit, and Brexit won't help, but small- and mid-sized companies continue to add strongly to payrolls."
