ADP: Private Employment Decreased 169,000 in November

ADP reports:

Nonfarm private employment decreased 169,000 from October to November 2009 on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to the ADP National Employment Report®. The estimated change of employment from September to October was revised by 8,000, from a decline of 203,000 to a decline of 195,000.

Note: ADP is private nonfarm employment only (no government jobs).
The BLS reported a 190,000 decrease in nonfarm private employment in October (also -190,000 total nonfarm), and ADP originally estimated October private nonfarm employment losses at 203,000; so ADP was pretty close to the BLS number last month.
