NEW YORK, Nov 5 (Reuters) : US private employers added 230,000 jobs in October, the most since June and exceeding economists' expectations as mid-sized businesses added the most workers in more than seven years, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday.

Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast the ADP National Employment Report would show a gain of 220,000 jobs.

September's private payrolls were revised up to 225,000 from the previously reported 213,000.
