• UPS contract talks fell apart with a strike on the horizon

  America’s largest private-sector package delivery service and the Teamsters Union representing 340,000 of its workers accused each other of walking away from negotiations over pay yesterday. The union plans to go on strike if a deal isn’t reached before the current contract expires on July 31, a move that could hobble supply chains and weigh on the US economy. Rivals like FedEx might benefit from picking up extra business, but they would likely struggle to take on all the 20 million packages that UPS handles daily.

  The numbers: The U.S. private sector added 497,000 jobs in June, according to the payroll services firm ADP, compared with a revised 267,000 in May. The increase reported Thursday was the biggest since July 2022.
  
  Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had forecast a gain of 220,000 private-sector jobs.
  

  
  
  Key details: Service-sector firms added 373,000 jobs in June, while goods-producing employment rose 124,000.
  
  Big picture: ADP’s report comes a day before the Labor Department’s closely watched employment report. ADP revised its methodology last year and has said it does not try to forecast the government’s monthly job report.
