U.S. private employers added 192,000 jobs in January, more than economists were expecting, in a sign of growth in the labour market, 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 165,000 jobs. December's private payrolls were revised down to an increase of 185,000 from the previously reported 215,000.
The report is jointly developed with Moody's Analytics.
