Breitbart

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. companies closed out 2017 with strong hiring in December, adding the most jobs in nine months.

Payroll processor ADP says that businesses added 250,000 jobs last month, up from 185,000 in November. The gains were led by robust hiring in health care, professional services such as accounting and engineering, and retail.  

The figures suggest that businesses are optimistic about the economic outlook and are staffing up to meet greater demand. ADP’s data bodes well for the government’s monthly jobs report, to be released Friday. Economists forecast that will show a gain of 189,000 jobs, according to a survey by data provider FactSet.

The unemployment rate is projected to remain at a 17-year low of 4.1 percent.

  1. Tell that to the Macy’s employees. Macy’s is cutting 5000 jobs due to eleven more stores closing. Tell that to the Sears and Kmart employees. Sixty-four Kmart and thirty-nine Sears stores are closing. Tell that to the millions of Americans that have been out of the work force since 2008! So tired of all the bullshit that the mainstream media spews about how great everything is.

  2. Complete horse piles, at least as far as hiring Americans is concerned, but they may have filled those slots with wetbacks and dot heads.

    “….The unemployment rate is projected to remain at a 17-year low of 4.1 percent….”

    How can you even listen to anyone who publishes this trash? Do they expect us to believe it, did we ask to be lied to, or is it just another case of “you’re dumb enough to believe this, so we’ll print it” ??

    Thanks. You’ll look real silly when your head is rolling down the street, Hymie.

  3. Breitbart’s become quite the charlatan for the Trump administration, lately. If Hitlery was president, they would have spinned it completely different because regardless of which side of the fake political paradigm that you’re on, everyone knows these jobs are seasonal and that the 4.1 unemployment rate is complete bullshit even by Breitbart standards.

  4. Their lying. The younger generation are holding temporary and or part time jobs continually chasing after those same jobs everyone else is.
