US April private-sector jobs up 204,000, smallest rise since November: ADP

May 2 (Reuters) - U.S. private-sector employers hired 204,000 workers in April, the smallest monthly increase since November, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday.

The increase was more than what economists surveyed by Reuters had expected, which was that the ADP National Employment Report would show a gain of 200,000 private jobs.

Private payrolls in March were revised down to an increase of 228,000 from the previously reported 241,000 gain. The report is jointly developed with Moody's Analytics.
