Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast the ADP
NationalEmployment Report would show a gain of 194,000 jobs.
Private payroll gains in August were revised down to 186,000from
an originally reported 190,000 increase.
The report is jointly developed with Moody's Analytics. The ADP
figures come ahead of the U.S. Labor Department'smore
comprehensive non-farm payrolls report on Friday, whichincludes
both public and private-sector employment.
Economists polled by Reuters projected U.S. employers hired
203,000 workers in September, improving from August's 173,000
increase which was the smallest in five months. The unemployment
rate was forecast to hold at 5.1 percent, a near 7-1/2 year low.
