“Consumer-facing service industries had a strong June, aligning to push job creation higher than expected,” said Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. “But wage growth continues to ebb in these same industries, and hiring likely is cresting after a late-cycle surge."

In the breakdown, the leisure/hospitality industry added 232K of the jobs with education/health services adding another 74K. Construction was also strong at +97K.
