1. I was trying to explain to a Teabagger the other day how 100,000>-700,000. Needles

2. Ugh, ADP estimates usually suck.

They get the markets and reporters all worked up and then we see the markets drop as the numbers don't meet expectations later.

ADP is just reporting how many new people they have added to payroll. They don't know how many people got laid off/fired nor do they know how many of those people were people that moved from one job to another.
