Payrolls firm ADP estimated that the private sector was shedding 11,250 jobs a week in the four weeks through Oct. 25.

The figure is the latest number in a new weekly ADP data series that estimates changes in private-sector employment over the preceding month.

Last week, in a separate data series, ADP estimated that the private sector added 42,000 jobs in October. That figure uses a different methodology intended to replicate the government's monthly jobs report more closely.

Economic statistics from alternative sources like ADP's have taken on greater weight during the government shutdown, which has delayed the release of the official numbers.
