Summary
ADP reported 90,000 new U.S. private-sector jobs in September, beating the 68,000 Dow Jones estimate and rebounding from August's downwardly revised 36,000.
The pickup followed a three-month slowdown and pointed to a labor market that Fed officials increasingly describe as stable despite last year's growth scare.
Services added 59,000 jobs and goods producers 31,000, with education and health services leading at 55,000; financial activities lost 16,000 and professional and business services shed 11,000.
Base pay rose 3.2% from a year earlier and gross pay 4.7%, while the Northeast accounted for 56,000 of the hiring and mid-sized firms added 54,000.
The ADP report sets up Friday's government payrolls release, where Wall Street expects 84,000 job gains and unemployment holding at 4.1%.
