Private employers added a better-than-expected 143,000 jobs in September in a bounceback from sluggish summer hiring, payroll firm ADP said on Wednesday. The gains were broad-based with only the information technology showing a slight decrease. Increases occurred both at mid-sized and large employers.

Private sector employment increased by 143,000 jobs in September and annual pay was up 4.7 percent year-over-year, according to the September ADP® National Employment ReportTM produced by ADP Research in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab ("Stanford Lab").
