Layoffs hit financial sector in June

ADP, the payroll company, says private sector payrolls were up by 188,000 last month. A separate report from the outplacement firm Challenger Grey & Christmas shows layoffs also ticked upward in June, in part due to the sequester. The government’s official report on jobs and unemployment comes out Friday.
