Focus on the recent employment trends will have a large impact on the way constituents vote in the upcoming presidential election. \u00a0 President Obama’s term has taken quite a bit of heat lately as questions have arisen to “are we better off now?”<\/a>. \u00a0 With the employment numbers coming out this week, let’s take a look at what we are seeing:<\/p>\n

ADP’s Private Payrolls continue to shock and awe markets with numbers better than expectations. \u00a0 Just this week on Wednesday, we witnessed a rise in private payrolls of 201,000 vs. expectations of only 140,000. \u00a0 The previous number that was released in July was revised higher as well by 10,000 new payrolls after a “recount”. \u00a0 The trend for ADP has been quite consistent with new payrolls averaging between 150,000 – 175,000 per month.<\/p>\n
