Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, said, “The current record of consecutive monthly job gains continued in September. With job openings at all-time highs and layoffs near all-time lows, the job market remains in full-swing. Job growth has moderated in recent months, but only because the economy is finally returning to full-employment.”

This was below the consensus forecast for 170,000 private sector jobs added in the ADP report. 

The BLS report for September will be released Friday, and the consensus is for 168,000 non-farm payroll jobs added in September.
