Company Hiring Probably Rose at Pace Showing Slow U.S. Rebound

U.S. company hiring will be slow to recover from the worst labor market since the end of World War II, economists said before a government report today.

Private payrolls that exclude government agencies rose by 90,000 workers after growing by 83,000 in June, according to the median estimate of 54 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. The report may also show total employment fell by 65,000, reflecting a drop in federal census workers, and the jobless rate rose.
