June’s payroll count probably rounded out the weakest quarter for U.S. employment in more than two years, economists said before a government report today.
Employers increased staffing by 100,000 workers last month after adding 69,000 in May, the least in a year, according to the median forecast of 84 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Company headcounts excluding government agencies may have climbed by 106,000, concluding the smallest quarterly advance since the first three months of 2010.
