Expectations were for the report to show payrolls grew 205,000 in September, roughly unchanged from last month's 204,000.
August's report was also revised down to a gain of 202,000 jobs from 204,000.
"September's jobs added number marks the sixth straight month of employment gains above 200,000," said Carlos Rodriguez, president and chief executive officer of ADP. "It's a positive sign for the economy to see the 200,000-plus trend continue."
The ADP report comes ahead of Friday's nonfarm payrolls report, and Ian Shepherdson at Pantheon Macro wrote that following last month's soft jobs report, Wednesday's ADP report is likely to garner some extra attention.
