Report: Private Sector Adds More Jobs Than Expected In October

NEW YORK - U.S. private-sector employers added 110,000 jobs in October, beating economists' expectations, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday.

Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast the ADP National Employment Report would show a gain of 101,000 jobs. September's private payrolls were revised up to an increase of 116,000 from the previously reported 91,000.

The report is jointly developed with Macroeconomic Advisers LLC.
