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.

Bob Woodward didn't want to join Senate Republicans in privately condemning President Trump but declining to do so publicly, he told Jonathan Swan in an interview for "Axios on HBO."

In the latest episode of "Axios on HBO," Jonathan Swan interviews Bob Woodward about his new book, "Rage," which was based on 19 interviews with President Trump.
