Strong ADP jobs report today foreshadows strong jobs number on Friday–and December interest rate increase
Economists now estimate that Friday’s Labor Department report will show the economy added 200,000 jobs in November after a big surge in net new jobs to 271,000 in October
Dip in initial claims for unemployment supports Fed’s case that jobs market is improving
Initial jobless claims fell modestly in the week ended on November 14 to 271,000 from 276,000 in the prior week. That kept the initial claims number near forty-year lows
Did October’s flood of jobs seal Fed interest rate increase for December?
Today’s report showing that the U.S. economy added 271,000 jobs in October provides all the data the Fed needs to raise interest rates at its December 16 meeting

Economy added 215,000 jobs in July; Fed interest rate increase in September more likely, market says

April jobs number strong enough to reduce worry over U.S. growth
The Standard & Poor’s 500 is up 1.19% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 1.46% as of 10:30 a.m. New York time on news that the U.S. economy added 223,000 jobs in the last month
