Investing.com - U.S. private employers added 190,000 jobs in November, slightly above economists' expectations, a report by a payrolls processor ADP showed on Wednesday.

Economists had expected the ADP nonfarm payrolls report to show a gain of 185,000 jobs.

Private sector jobs increased by 235,000 in October.

The ADP figures come ahead of the Labor Department's more comprehensive non-farm payrolls report on Friday, which includes both public and private-sector employment.

Economists are expecting the U.S. economy to have added 200,000 jobs after adding 261,000 positions in October, while the unemployment rate is forecast to hold steady at 4.1%.
