ADP Reports 157,000 Jobs Lost in October (2008)

Clearly, President Obama's policies are good for small business!


In October, firms employing between 1-19 workers increased jobs by 18,000; firms with 20-49 employees added 32,000. Medium-sized businesses with payrolls of 50-499 workers added 27,000. Among large firms, businesses with 500-999 employees added 12,000 and large companies with more than 1,000 employees added 69,000. [br]- ADP Research Institute

Also, while it's bad to lose even one job, hiring in October 2012 far outpaced layoffs: Despite the loss of 8k manufacturing jobs, jobs were UP in every other sector ADP measures.

Once again, bad news for Republicans is good news for Americans!!
