U.S. private sector hiring picks up less than expected in June: ADP

(Reuters) - U.S. companies added more jobs in June, but fewer than what analysts had forecast, raising concerns the labor market is softening even as the current U.S. economic expansion marked a record run this month, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday.

The private sector payrolls increased by 102,000 jobs in June, falling short of the 140,000 projected by economists polled by Reuters.

Private payroll gains in the month earlier were revised up to 41,000 from an originally reported 27,000 increase. The May reading was still the weakest since March 2010.

The report is jointly developed with Moody's Analytics.
