Reflecting strong job growth in both the goods-producing and service-providing sectors, payroll processor ADP released a report on Wednesday showing a much bigger than expected increase in U.S. private sector employment in the month of September.
ADP said private sector employment jumped by 230,000 jobs in September after climbing by an upwardly revised 168,000 jobs in August.
Economists had expected employment to increase by about 185,000 jobs compared to the addition of 163,000 jobs originally reported for the previous month.
