QuoteNEW YORK (Reuters) - Job losses in the U.S. private sector accelerated in March, more than economists' expectations, according to a report by ADP Employer Services on Wednesday.
Private employers cut jobs by a record 742,000 in March versus a 706,000 revised cut in February that was originally reported at 697,000 jobs, said ADP, which has been carrying out the survey since 2001.

Ouch. :(
I assume most of those were in the retail sector.
I hope they find them soon.
Not good. I had hoped we were close to troughing.
I blame Bush of course.
Of course, its not like Obama promised that his spendulus plan would "create or save" 4 billion jobs or something.
April Fools!
I like the avatar Weatherman. :D
I saw a pretty funny YouTube video that had a guy dressed up like Hitler making the "'Jews' sounds like 'juice' joke".

No need. Obama will create them out of thin air.

Consider a career in the exciting field of hole digging. Dig a hole, fill it back up, and profit!
Can we put GOPtards in the holes before filling them back up? This will turn mere makework into a highly productive enterprise.

Sure, just tell them that there's candy at the bottom of the hole. Republicans love candy. :)
The ADP-report is not so reliable. Wait until friday, when the NFP-report appears, that will move the market.
Not much, and if so it will only be short-term. The market tries to predict the future. Unemployment numbers predict the past.
Damn, that's awful. :(

Candy from babies is extra tasty.
