Private sector hiring showed some solid strength last month, according to new employment data.

The U.S. added 63,000 jobs to private payrolls in February, according to the ADP National Employment Report released Wednesday morning.

That's significantly more than January's revised 11,000 gains.

February's labor gains were also stronger than economists' consensus estimate for 50,000 private payroll gains, according to FactSet.
