12. Hiring likely improved in June as economy picks up

WASHINGTON (AP) -- June may turn out to have been a good month to find a job after all.

Economists expect hiring to have improved significantly from May, when the economy added just 54,000 jobs.

The consensus forecast predicts only 90,000 jobs were added in June, according to a survey by FactSet. But a batch of strong economic data this week has inspired some last-minute upward revisions.

Many economists now estimate that employers added at least 120,000 jobs. And some are predicting as many as 200,000 net new jobs for June. The unemployment rate is expected to stay at 9.1 percent.
