NEW YORK (Reuters) - The pace of job creation by private employers accelerated more than expected in February, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday.
The private sector added 216,000 jobs last month, the ADP National Employment Report showed, topping economists' expectations for a gain of 208,000.
January's payrolls figures were revised up to an increase of 173,000 from 170,000.
The report is jointly developed with Macroeconomic Advisers LLC.
