There were losses on the government payroll as well, with a decline of 53,000 for September.

Education and health jobs were up slightly in the month, edging higher by 3,000.

The average work week dipped to 33 hours after coming in at 33.1 in August. Average hourly earnings ticked up to $18.67 from $18.66.

Earlier this week, payroll processor ADP released its figures for private-sector employment. The report came in worse than expected, with payrolls dropping 254,000.

This was followed on Thursday by a disappointing report on weekly jobless claims. A Labor Department report showed that the number of people filing first-time unemployment claims climbed 17,000 last week to 551,000. Economists were looking for a reading around 535,000.
