RTRS: US private sector cuts 254,000 jobs in September
NEW YORK, Sept 30 (Reuters) - U.S. private employers cut a larger than expected 254,000 jobs in September, though this was less than a revised 277,000 jobs lost in August, a report by a private employment service said on Wednesday.
The August decline was originally reported at 298,000.
The median of estimates from 27 economists surveyed by Reuters for the ADP Employer Services report, jointly developed with Macroeconomic Advisers LLC, was for 210,000 private-sector jobs lost in September.
