WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Private-sector hiring slightly picked up in September, as employers added 213,000 jobs, Automatic Data Processing Inc. reported Wednesday. Economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires had expected a September gain of 209,000, compared with an originally reported increase of 204,000 in August. On Wednesday ADP revised August's gain to 202,000. Economists use ADP's data to get a feeling for the U.S. Labor Department's employment report, which will be released Friday and covers government jobs in addition to the private sector. Economists polled by MarketWatch expect the government's report to show that nonfarm employment rose by 220,000 jobs in last month, compared with an August gain of 142,000 jobs.
