Private employers added a whopping 230,000 jobs in September — far above the 185,000 economists expected — according to payrolls firm ADP and Moody's Analytics.
Why it matters: The number is a rebound from August's hiring slowdown in the private sector. In a statement, Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi said he expects unemployment to drop "into the low 3%'s by this time next year" based on the pace of job creation.

Delta CEO Ed Bastian on Friday told CNN that he believes the Trump administration should move to require the use of face masks during air travel amid a surge in coronavirus cases.

President Trump's outdoor campaign rally in Portsmouth, N.H., slated to take place on Saturday, was postponed on Friday due to weather from Tropical Storm Fay, a senior White House official confirmed to Axios.
The state of play: Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters on Air Force One that the event would take place in "a week or two" instead. The outdoor rally — which had encouraged the use of face masks — was scheduled after sparse attendance at Trump's indoor comeback to the campaign trail in Tulsa.
