US private employers added 98,000 jobs in June

US private employers added 98,000 jobs in June, below the 122,000 added in May and the 118,000 expected by economists. The education and health services sector contributed nearly half of the jobs, while financial services and information sectors saw positive growth. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the full June jobs report on Thursday, with the labor market's strength fueling expectations of interest-rate hikes later this year.
